light tunnel in norwich

Here, the light is not exactly at the end of the tunnel...

Christmas decoration is capable of attracting large masses of people, who do not hesitate to move to feel the spirit of the holidays light up inside them. On our radar, in fact, there are the ** best streets in the world to feel Christmas **, the ** cities that best feel these dates **, the ** infallible Christmas destinations **... And, among all of them, now shines with its own light -okay, we'll stop with the bad jokes- this tunnel in the little English town of Norwich.

It is 45 meters long, four meters high and six meters wide, and is made up of more than 57,000 led lights which remain lit every evening from late November to January 5. This has been the case since 2016, the year in which this unique luminous corridor was inaugurated, whose lamps have a peculiarity that distinguishes it from other similar attractions: reflect patterns and colors of the northern lights, and "dance" as a show for 12 minutes at a time. This year, in fact, two new passes have been introduced: one that creates the illusion of cascading water and another inspired by the James Bond movies.

Tailor-made and paid for by the Norwich Business Improvement District, which brings together the city's businessmen, the installation was the first "video-tunnel" in the entire continent. The inspiration for its creation, according to the Norwich City Council, is in a similar attraction in the park Nagashima-Resort , located in Nabana no Sato (Japan) .

OTHER LARGE TUNNELS OF LIGHT IN EUROPE

Five meters longer, but not as dynamic -only the color of its lights changes- is the light tunnel of the Christmas market in Vevy , in Switzerland, made up of 28,750 leds spread over 25 rings and 1,150 garlands. Much more striking due to its shapes, which resemble the city's Cathedral, is the Malaga , although it does not end up being a "tunnel" -the installation is in the shape of a vault and does not reach the ground, but rather begins on the heights-.

he owns 725,544 lamps placed in 2,630 cords of microleds, and also has two domes and twenty-four porticoes with windows, stained glass windows and rosettes. Every Christmas day, from November 30 to January 5, it shows a light show in three passes: at 6:30 p.m., 8:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m., in an event that last year brought together To over 2,500 people during each day, according to the City Council.
