Building Illumination Requests - Application Process Now Closed for 2026

Our policy on building illuminations has changed. The application process for 2026 building illumination requests has now closed. To view our new policy please click here.

The new policy aims to improve the process for charities and organisations requesting to light up Lagan Valley Island and Union Bridge, helping to raise awareness for your cause. 

As a council, we are keen to support charities and causes, and lighting up our civic headquarters in the nominated colour is one way we can do this.

Applications for 2026 are now closed. Any requests submitted after 17th October 2025 cannot be accepted.

If you have any questions, please email us at civicevents.officer@lisburncastlereagh.gov.uk
