About This Event

Several of the decorated lighthouse sculptures from St Luke's Hospice's citywide Guiding Lights trail are installed at Royal William Yard for the summer, sited around the Yard's restored waterfront buildings and open spaces. They are free to visit and can be seen at any time, and the Yard makes a natural extension to the wider city-centre and waterfront trail for anyone following the full route. The sculptures are later auctioned in aid of St Luke's Hospice.
