Lumiere Durham

Make Lumiere part of a magical winter break in Durham.

Lumiere is set to return to once again transform Durham City into a nocturnal wonderland. Across four magical winter evenings from 18 – 21 November the city and many of its iconic locations will be transformed into a spectacular light art trail, with installations designed by local, British and internationally renowned artists. And for the first time ever, Lumiere will be illuminating not just historic Durham City, but incredible places across the county too.  And with so much to see and do across the county, why not stay a little longer?

You'll be spoilt for choice of where to explore during the day, before Lumiere lights up Durham, from award-winning attractions and delicious places to eat, to enjoying a spot of retail therapy and discovering stunning landscapes. 

With stylish hotels, friendly B&Bs and cosy cottages, you're certain to find the perfect place to stay.
