The brief

Lymelight Festival is a flagship event in Newcastle-under-Lyme's cultural calendar, turning the town centre into a celebration of live music and local talent.

For 2026, Newcastle-under-Lyme BID appointed us to deliver the full event production package for two days of live music over the late May bank holiday weekend. Working alongside the BID and its event partners, we brought together the staging, technical infrastructure, crew and essential event services that a festival needs.

The result

More than 50 artists played across three town-centre stages, with local venues carrying the celebrations on through the weekend.

With technical production and event infrastructure under one coordinated team, the BID got a welcoming, professionally run festival for performers, businesses and visitors alike.

National recognition

Shortlisted for Best Event at the National BID Awards 2027

A nod to the festival's contribution to the town centre and its community. We're proud to have helped deliver an event that keeps championing grassroots music and bringing people into Newcastle-under-Lyme.
