Light Night Leeds 2007

Light Night 2007
As part of Celebrate Leeds 2007, Light Night returns to give new perspectives on the city using illumination techniques.
Exactly one month before Leeds' 800th birthday, the Celebrate Leeds 2007 festival invites you to an after hours celebration of the bizarre, secret, fantastic, surreal history of your city.
From twilight through midnight and beyond, experience games on the streets, songs in prison cells, boat trips to nowhere, buglers on towers, dancing in galleries, awesome illuminations and curious creations in churches... Be a tourist, a night-tripper and a sight-seer in your own city.

This autumn, Leeds City Council and cultural partners from all over the city ask you to look again at the city that you thought you knew. Based on the European model of Nuit Blanches, venues all across the city will open their doors late into the night and will play host to the unexpected, the magical, the musical, the sinister & the surreal...
Look out for brochures, websites, or just gather below the BBC Big Screen on Millennium Square on the night to find out where to go, what to do.
Last year saw hundreds of people in white boiler suits dancing along the length of Briggate with shire horses, bagpipes & ice cream vans, fantastic interractive light sculptures in Holy Trinity Church, a string quartet playing at the top of the Town Hall Clock Tower.
Leeds' Light Night 2007 takes place on Friday 12 October 2007. For more details check out the website:
