EVENT

Experience Birmingham Light Festival at Mailbox

12th-15th February 2026

From 12th – 15th February 2026, Birmingham’s city centre will be transformed once again with stunning light installations, and we are so thrilled to be welcoming Our Beating Heart by Studio Vertigo to Mailbox.

Our Beating Heart reimagines one of nightlife’s most universal icons – the mirror ball – and reshapes it into a symbol of connection and compassion this Valentines weekend. As the heart rotates to the beat, it scatters glimmers of light onto passing faces, couples holding hands and friends dancing under the stars. By day, it brightly mirrors its surroundings. By night, it becomes a beacon of light.

When: 5pm – 10pm, Thursday 12 – Sunday 15th February 2026

Where: Canalside at Mailbox

See the space transformed with shimmering light and let the thousands of reflections of light wash over you!
