This once in a lifetime event will take place on Saturday 13 March 2010 and will follow the route of the 84 mile long Hadrian’s Wall Path National Trail.
Around 500 individual points of light placed at 250 metre intervals will be used to light up the Wall. The first one will be illuminated at a public event at Segedunum Roman Fort at Wallsend in the North East, with the line of light then making its way along the Wall to Bowness-on-Solway in Cumbria over the following hour. As it reaches Carlisle there will be a second public event ‘Welcoming the Light’ to celebrate the light’s arrival and passing through.
Hundreds of people from across the country and overseas will have the chance to take part in this spectacular event. We are looking to recruit 500 people to help create the line of light from coast to coast. Each of the volunteer ‘Illuminators’ will be responsible for lighting one of the 500 individual points of light along the route of the 84 mile long Hadrian’s Wall Path National Trail.
