The UK’s largest light art festival, Light Night will be back in Leeds city centre on October 24 and 25, bringing a programme of incredible, large-scale projections, live street theatre and interactive installations to some of the city’s most recognisable buildings and locations.

In celebration of the 20^th edition, this year’s event will feature a mesmerising array of new creations by artists from around the world, with some popular artworks from previous years also returning.

Among the breathtaking installations that will be part of this year’s free, family-friendly programme will be Norwegian artist Anastasia Isachsen’s stunning Monad, which will be projected onto the water at Leeds Dock. Inspired by the circular nature of life, rebirth and the universe, the piece will be accompanied by a compelling soundscape.

Parallels by Architecture Social Club will see multi-coloured laser beams, which pulse and flicker to a mesmerising electronic soundscape near the new Aire Park, outside The Tetley.

And MAPP, by Dutch duo AlexP will capture the silhouettes of participants in amongst colourful images and patterns, all projected from an old-fashioned pram.

This year’s array of live street performances will also feature a giant Ghost Caribou, the return of the ever-popular Spark Drummers and a fire-breathing dragon.

Other artworks, including a spellbinding piece on The Queens Hotel, will be announced in the upcoming weeks.

Light Night Leeds 2024 takes place across the city on the October 24 and 25, 2024 from 6pm to 10pm.
