• Mount Wise's Lighthouse for St Luke’s Guiding Lights

  Thu 11 Jun 2026

  Get ready for St Luke’s Guiding Lights, which will be beaming through Plymouth in summer 2026 with a spectacular trail of stunning lighthouse sculptures. Mount Wise Primary School painted their very own Little Lights Lighthouse which will be on display during the trail at The Box Museum.

   

  The trail will run from Monday 6 July to Sunday 13 September 2026. After being on show to the public for 10 weeks, the sculptures will find their permanent homes when they go under the hammer at a grand auction finale on 1 October 2026.

   

  Imagine wandering through the bustling streets of Plymouth and along the beautiful waterfront, uncovering one stunning Lighthouse after another, each bearing the creative imprint of local and regional artists and proudly sponsored by local businesses.

   

  Working in partnership with Wild in Art, this colourful and exciting art trail will engage local communities, schools and businesses, and bring thousands of visitors into the city. All the while raising awareness of St Luke’s and the importance of the care we provide. Mount Wise Primary School are proud to be part of such a wonderful project.
