Firebird - Gravesham Light Festival

30th January - 31st January 2026

A magnificent and unforgettable presence at Gravesham Light Festival, The Fire Bird is a high-impact giant metal puppet that brings fire, light and movement to the winter night.

Towering up to five metres tall, this striking creature stalks, bends, pecks and rears as it moves through the streets. From its beak, a dramatic fountain of sparks bursts into the air, creating moments of awe and shared excitement for audiences of all ages.

Designed for both day and night appearances, The Fire Bird features integrated lighting and a fully immersive sound system, accompanied by a powerful and atmospheric soundtrack. Whether encountered up close or glimpsed from afar, the experience is bold, theatrical and unforgettable.

As part of the festival’s roaming programme, The Fire Bird transforms public spaces into a moving spectacle of fire, sound and light - inviting communities to gather, pause and experience something extraordinary together.

Travels up and down the High Street, approx times - 5:30, 6:30, 7:30pm
