Lumiere and when to see it

There's plenty of time for other spectators to get their own view of Lumiere and its many impressive displays.

The biennial light festival returns from November 16-19, from 4.30pm-11pm each night.

There’s more than 40 installations to explore within Durham City and Bishop Auckland.
