Light Night Leeds to celebrate city’s landmarks and public spaces

Some of Leeds’ most recognisable buildings are set to be celebrated during the city’s annual Light Night event.

Under the theme of “landmarks”, the festival aims to draw attention to some of the city’s historic civic buildings, modern architecture and public spaces.

The Queens Hotel will provide a backdrop for a projection marking 200 years of the modern railway, with Leeds Civic Hall hosting an installation created using books from the British Library’s collection.

The event, which includes projections, light artworks, performances and interactive pieces, will take place on 23 and 24 October between 18:00 and 22:00 BST.
