The lighting festival takes place at Rouken Glen Park on February 4-7 and 10-14 after a break in 2015.

East Renfrewshire Council estimates that the event generated £403,000 for the local economy in its first year, and £1,190,400 regionally in 2014 as visitors flocked to the park and surrounding areas.

And in 2016, restaurants across East Ren will be hoping to top this figure by offering special offers throughout January and February to all ticket holders.
