LUMI E RE DURHAM

Lumiere Festival began as a small local project and is now a national one. The UK’S largest light festival sees 29 installations appearing across Durham – from a gigantic illuminated wire sculpture hung over the River Wear to a huge illuminated field of flowers. The 2015 event proved so popular, makers introduced Lumiere London in 2016, where 1.3m people hit the streets. Lumiere Durham, 16-19 November; Lumiere London, 18-23 January
