The much-loved light festival Lumiere is to make a dazzling return to Durham next year, it has been announced, with a four-night run that will transform city streets and buildings.
Organisers of the biennial festival announced its return dates this Tuesday, marking a year to the date of 2023's event. Lumiere will run next year from November 16-19.
They say the free festival, created by leading arts producer Artichoke and commissioned by Durham County Council, will showcase a new programme of illuminations and installations by a range of artists, including international commissions, who have "something to say about our world". As the countdown starts to the big event, fund-raising for it is already underway and there are to be plenty of opportunities for local businesses to become involved.
