Special Lighting Schedule

Lighting Up Council Buildings

The Council receives numerous requests from various charities and members of the public, to light up its buildings certain colours to recognise and raise awareness of many important issues and campaigns.

The table below shows when the buildings (Ards Arts Centre/Town Hall, Conway Square Newtownards and/or McKee Clock, Bangor) will be lighting up this year, for which cause and in which colour.

PLEASE NOTE: Due to an ongoing technical issue with the lights at the McKee Clock, Bangor, only Ards Arts Centre / Town Hall, Conway Square, Newtownards will light up for ratified requests from 18 November 2021 onwards.  Council is working hard to resolve the issue as soon as possible, and apologies for any inconvenience this may cause.  

April 2022: It has been agreed to continue to light Council buildings blue and yellow in support of Ukraine on dates when there are no other light ups programmed. This will be further reviewed on a monthly basis at the Council's Corporate Services Committee.

To make a request to have our designated properties (Ards Arts Centre/Town Hall, Conway Square Newtownards and/or McKee Clock, Bangor) illuminated please email landrequests@ardsandnorthdown.gov.uk
