The festival is back for another four nights of stunning artwork for the public to enjoy up to November 19, as reported in the Sunderland Echo.

It brings back memories of these unforgettable displays from Lumiere, starting in 2009.

You might remember the flooded phone box, the globe or the illuminated plastic bags.
