Illuminating Hadrian’s Wall will be a spectacular line of light from coast to coast, along the length of Hadrian’s Wall, on Saturday 13th March 2010.
It will follow the route of the 84 mile long Hadrian’s Wall Path National Trail and there will be around 500 individual points of light, placed at 250 metre intervals.
The first light will be illuminated at Wallsend in the North East, with the line of light then making its way along the Wall to Bowness-on-Solway in Cumbria over the following hour.
Illuminating Hadrian’s Wall is an ambitious project led by Hadrian’s Wall Heritage Ltd. It forms part of the world-class programme of festivals and events developed by culture10 in the North East of England and the Lakes Alive programme in Cumbria, presented by Kendal Arts International and Manchester International Arts.
Illuminating Hadrian’s Wall is also a flagship event of British Tourism Week 2010.
