The Brief

To add a Christmas-y feel to the historic arcade while still complying with the style of the building.

The Installation

We installed warm white fairy lights to keep a vaguely authentic feel and to tie in with the festive garlands. These were draped and grouped over the stores, between and around the plants. This was installed at the same time as the trees and plants, over one day with two technicians.

The Challenges

The real challenges came from the age of the building. As the building is listed, no fixings are allowed to be used to hold the lights in place and nothing can be used that would damage the lead paint or the building itself.
