Lumiere 2011 - Durham

[Lord Camomile]

Originally done in 2009 (by Artichoke, the same people behind The Sultan's Elephant in London, amongst other things), Lumiere is being brought back to Durham this November.

I was thinking of heading up for a long weekend, as train tickets are cheap at the moment and my dad grew up around there (also went to uni there, now I think about it), just wondered if anyone had any experiences of the 2009 event?

No, but I'll be going to this, sounds ace.

I had a brief wander round the city when it was on in 2009 and it was quite impressive. I never got round to going back with a camera, so I hope to rectify that this year.

I might go this year, friends who went last year said it was great and well worth seeing

I had a wander around Durham for a couple of hours this evening. Quite interesting, but very busy. I didn't bother attempting to get through the crowds towards the cathedral, it might have been better if there was a signposted route so people were all flowing in the same direction.
