LightNight Liverpool returns with Time theme

Produced by community interest company Open Culture, this year's LightNight takes on the theme of Time, covering everything from the past, present and future of Liverpool to its people and the world they live in, as well as the influence of time on scientific discovery. 

Aiming to showcase and celebrate the city's thriving arts and culture scene, expect large-scale light projections, live music, hands-on workshops, dance, art and crafts, spoken word, street performance, theatre, late night opening exhibitions and walking tours as the city comes alive for a spring evening.

Participating venues this year include the Metropolitan Cathedral (celebrating its jubilee year), Liverpool Cathedral, Bluecoat, St George’s Hall, Albert Dock, Gostin’s Building, LJMU sites, the Baltic Triangle and other museums and galleries, along with untraditional and unusual arts spaces across the city centre.

Open Culture's Charlotte Corrie says: “LightNight is such a special night in Liverpool. Art really is better when everybody comes together and we think LightNight is proof of that. We’re busy behind the scenes going through all the applications we’ve had for this year’s programme, and finalising the new commissions. For us and our partners it’s a chance to welcome everyone into the big Liverpool art and culture family.”

The full programme for LightNight Liverpool 2017 will be unveiled in April.
