Halation: 14 March onwards
Halation is a new light art installation of the Old Medieval Town Walls near the DeVere hotel roundabout.
The walls will glow every evening from March turning Southampton's medieval walls into a technicolour kaleidoscope.
Newcastle-based artist Simon Watkinson was commissioned to create the walls lighting scheme.
His influence can already be seen around Southampton at the Holyrood Church ruins, inside the 14th century Lankaster's Vault and at the new Telephone House flats development.
He has also created public art for local authorities in Leicester, Sunderland, Slough, Newcastle, Salford and Poole.
A map showing where the Old Town Walls are located is shown below.
