GLOW, A Cork Christmas Celebration opens tomorrow, Friday.

Bishop Lucey Park, which has been transformed into a festive wonderland, magically tells the story of the Twelve Days of Christmas. Each of the twelve days is represented by a static light installation, which will be brought to life by community groups, professional artists, actors, and street entertainers.

A selection of these groups includes Joan Denise Moriarty School of Dance, Salsa Cubana Cork, Aatma: Indian Dance Troupe in Cork, and Cork Circus Factory.

As part of GLOW, people will be able to enjoy fantastic views of Cork City on the Ferris Wheel which returns to the Grand Parade and will stay in place until early January.

GLOW will take place over four successive weekends in the run-up to Christmas starting this weekend. Bishop Lucey Park will be open on these dates from 4.30pm to 8.30pm.

The Ferris Wheel will be open each day from 12 noon to 9pm. Prebooking of Bishop Lucey Park and the Ferris Wheel is essential on www.glowcork.ie
