Building Illumination Requests - Application Process Now Open for 2026

Our policy on building illuminations has changed. All applications for 2026 must now be submitted by 4pm on Friday 17th October 2025. 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.

If your charity or organisation would like to highlight a charity or cause in 2026, please submit your request to us by Friday 17th October 2025 using the Building Illuminations 2026 form.

Requests should include details about the cause, your charity number (if applicable), your preferred date, and the colour you'd like for the illumination. Eligibility criteria applies.

Please note building illumination requests submitted after 17th October will not be accepted.
