Jack’s Community Carol

After the incredible success of Light Works Workington last year – which attracted over 10,000 visitors – the spectacular festival of light is back and brighter than ever!

This December, Light Works will illuminate Workington on Saturday 6 & Sunday 7 December, before bringing its magic to Seascale on Saturday 13 & Sunday 14 December.

This year, we’re inviting you to help create something truly special.
Artist, clarinettist and composer Jack McNeill is crafting a unique new sound and storytelling experience for Light Works 2025 – and he needs your help to make it happen.

Jack has a few questions to inspire his creative process, and your answers will help shape what he makes for the festival.

Jack’s Questions:

1. Can you remember your happiest winter?

2. Does winter in West Cumbria hold a particular feeling for you because of the place?

3. What does togetherness look like to you in winter?

4. Can you think of a positive action you notice in the community during winter?

5. What does love in the community sound like at winter?

6. Is winter peaceful for you?
