About Light Night

Celebrating the diverse and thriving creativity of Leeds, Light Night Leeds is an annual free multi-arts and light festival that takes over Leeds City Centre for two nights in October.

Light Night Leeds 2019 Headline Sponsor: Vastint UK

'Light Night Leeds is one of largest celebrations of arts and creativity in the UK and we’re excited to be involved for what is expected to be the biggest yet. In an event that quite literally illuminates the iconic areas of Leeds, and celebrating Mind, Body and Spirit, there’s no better way to offer a first glimpse of Aire Park; Leeds’s new city park. At the former Tetley Brewery site Vastint UK will be hosting Pleasance by NOVAK, an immersive, all-sensory experience with visuals and sounds inspired by the hundreds of new trees and acres of green space; complemented by new homes, offices, restaurants and cafes that will enliven Aire Park and kick-start the transformation of the South Bank. We hope you enjoy Light Night Leeds, and make sure to look out for our Aire Park Walking Trees taking over the city!'
- Andrew Cobden, Managing Director, Vastint UK
