An estimated 210,400 people attended last year’s Light Night, which again took place over two days – an increase of 5% over the number attending in 2023.
The council said that this year, under the theme of “landmarks”, the festival aimed to draw attention to some of the city’s historical civic buildings, modern architecture and public spaces.
Among the spectacles would be The Queens Hotel providing a backdrop for a projection marking 200 years of the modern railway, while Leeds Civic Hall would host an installation created using books from the British Library’s collection.
The event, which would include projections, light artworks, performances and interactive pieces, would take place between 18:00 and 22:00 BST on both days, the council said.
