Planning for the 2021 edition of the festival is well underway and we can’t wait to light up the city again with a programme of UK and international artists and local talent. As experts in producing outdoor events, Lumiere producers Artichoke will ensure appropriate measures are in place to allow audiences to enjoy the festival safely in accordance with guidelines around COVID-19.
Over 1 million people have attended Lumiere in its ten-year history, and the festival’s economic impact has grown year-on-year, bringing visitors into the city and boosting local businesses, and placing Durham in the world’s spotlight. Over 10,000 local people and school children have benefitted from involvement in Lumiere’s learning and participation programmes and volunteering opportunities since 2009.
