THE 'Glasgow Illuminated' experience in George Square will not be returning for 2022, it has been revealed. 

Last year, Glasgow Life organised the bright display over the Christmas period. 

The City Chambers were lit up with bright lights and laser beams every night for more than a month.

But, bosses have said the display won't be held this year, as it was developed in response to Covid-related restrictions. 

The city's popular Christmas light switch-on event had to be cancelled due to government guidelines, in response to the pandemic.

A spokesperson for Glasgow Life said: “The Glasgow Illuminated experience was developed in response to Covid-related restrictions.

"This year, we’re looking forward to the in-person return of the Christmas lights switch-on, one of the city’s great festive traditions and an unforgettable way to start the countdown to Christmas in Glasgow.”

We reported yesterday that the switch-on event will take place on November 20, 2022, with ticket information to be confirmed in due course.
