Festive mistletoe arch by day…ethereal River Test bridge by evening… #milltrail #whitchurchhampshire
The Winter Festival ‘Light up the River’ light installation is on display every evening from sunset to 9pm until the 29th December 2021.
Created by artist Raphael Daden, and commissioned by Whitchurch Conservation Group with funding from Arts Council England, the light installation draws inspiration from the spirit of the famous chalkstream river, its riverbanks, which are designated a Special Site of Scientific Interest, and the surrounding trees.
A free, riverside walk along the Mill Trail, a waymarked walk, the River Test light installation is on display every evening from sunset until 9pm until 29th December 2021. It is situated on the Mill Trail network of public footpaths in Whitchurch, on the bridge by Fulling Mill.
Transforming the River Test at night with an orchestrated series of light works that span the bridge by Fulling Mill, one of the historic mills in Whitchurch, its subtly moving sequences of LED light symbolically draw inspiration from the spirit and history of the river.
It encourages walkers and visitors to reconnect with the River Test and combines participation in art and culture with the wellbeing benefits of walking and spending time outdoors as well as a timely opportunity to visit local hospitality businesses in Whitchurch including Kudos Coffee, 909 Bistro, King’s Arms and The White Hart.
Note: it is a muddy, countryside footpath: please do wear appropriate footwear!

Belshazzar’s Feast – Postponed It is with a heavy heart that we have chosen to postpone the Belshazzar’s Feast Christmas concert on December 23rd. With 140 people expected to turn up, we didn’t feel that we could operate the concert in a way that would be safe or comfortable for many attendees, organisers or staff. Our intention is to reschedule the concert for the Spring, and we are currently working with the venue to sort out a date.
Tickets will automatically become valid for the reorganised event once it has been confirmed, and we will let you know those details as soon as we have them, at which point you can choose to be reallocated or take a refund.
Many thanks, and we hope you have a warm and safe Christmas.
Sincerely, The Whitchurch Folk Club Team
