‘Colour and Light’ is an immersive projection experience for the whole family, illuminating York Minster during the dark evenings of winter.

The unique show has been created by Doubletake Projections using projection mapping to re-imagine the facade of the iconic South Transept of York Minster.

The free public show will be visible from the South Piazza of the Minster from 6pm to 9pmevery evening from February 10th – 23rd. The show will be on an 8-minute loop, and viewers are invited to stay for as many showings as they wish. No booking is required.

The BID has brought ‘Colour and Light’ to the cityduring the dark evenings of winter to encourage visitors and residents into the city at a quieter time of year. The event also encompasses the February half term - a time when families have the opportunity to come in, enjoy the projection and support the early evening economy.

We are giving businesses in the city centre advanced warning of this event as it is likely that there will be increased footfall in the vicinity for the duration of this event.

We hope that this additonal footfall will have a positive impact on businesses in the area and the early evening economy throughout the city.

If you would like to run any promotions in association with Colour and Light and require any photography or social media posts, please contact jo.little@theyorkbid.com
