RiverLight is back for 2025, and will be the fourth edition, celebrating Sleaford’s rich culture and heritage.
The festival has a significant impact on the town, the community and the local economy. Over the last three years it's generated an economic impact of over £600,000 Gross Value Added to the Sleaford economy.
Be part of the journey this year by visiting the event from 14-20 June for the fringe events and on Saturday 21 June for the finale. Plus, Sleaford businesses will be invited to decorate their shopfronts, adding vibrancy to the town and high street. Programmes are now available and can be collected from the Hub as well as local businesses and visitor venues.
