John Lewis & Partners

We were thrilled that John Lewis & Partners were our Headline Sponsor of Northern Lights Manchester, to help our brand-new large-scale winter light trail that took place at Heaton Park from 20th November – 31st December 2025.

This exciting partnership brought together two of the UK’s most recognisable festive names — with John Lewis, a brand synonymous with the unofficial start of the festive season – joining Northern Lights to firmly establish Manchester’s newest seasonal tradition from year one.

Kicking off the experience for our 2025 customers was a giant record arch inspired by John Lewis’s 2025 Christmas advert, inviting them to boogie through the installation to “Where Love Lives,” the soundtrack of the iconic campaign, beginning their visit in joyful style.

Roxy Robinson, Creative Director at From the Fields, when the partnership was announced shared: It’s a significant moment for us to announce and welcome John Lewis & Partners as our headline sponsor for Northern Lights Manchester. Their brand ethos and seasonal spirit align perfectly with our philosophy to create unforgettable moments and seasonal traditions for many years ahead.”

Rosie Hanley, Brand Director, added: 

At John Lewis, we love bringing people together to create shared experiences and magical Christmas memories. This spectacular light trail is a brilliant way for us to share the spirit of the season with Manchester and its communities, and we are excited to be a part of it.”
