Christmas lighting specialist Piggotts has been chosen by Covent Garden Limited to create the Christmas illuminations across the market square and surrounding streets.

The idea behind the project is to create a gateway into the market place, encouraging footfall and to boost the local economy.

Using a combination of six-metre wide light curtains, snow fall tubes and red baubles, the Piggotts team created a continuous stream of white LED light hanging between the streets leading toward Covent Garden market.

Piggotts engineers worked through the night on 24 October to ensure the display was ready for the switch-on event scheduled for Wednesday 6 November.

Covent Garden Limited has also extended its contract with Piggott’s by three years.

Meanwhile, the engineers are working on 29 installations for the Regent Street lights which are this year based on an animated film.

All of the crossings in the project are decorated with branches, which are dressed with a cracker LED light garland with more than 750,000 bulbs.

Lee Harvey, managing director of Piggotts, said: "We have once again been contracted to provide some of the world’s most stunning Christmas light displays.

"As well as Regent Street and Covent Garden, other areas include Bond Street, South Molton Street and Connaught Street. We are also providing schemes as far north as Doncaster and Rotherham through to Swansea and Brighton."
