Light of Peace

Light of Peace
 

Join us at Antrim Castle Gardens and Mossley Mill at 9.30pm on Thursday 8 May 2025, as we light beacons symbolising the enduring light of peace that emerged from the shadows of war.

In unison with over one thousand beacons and hundreds of Lamp Lights of Peace illuminating the United Kingdom, we invite you to be part of this poignant  Beacon Lighting commemoration.

Each ceremony will be accompanied by the stirring sounds of a bugler and piper, honouring the many sacrifices that secured our freedom.
