Come by the future National Poetry Centre building during Leeds Light Night! Watch words emerge from waves of animated light, appearing to float and scatter through the air. Flowing around the future National Poetry Centre’s striking Gothic architecture, luminous letters gather into sentences that share stories of nature, seasons and our changing environment. Created by Dutch artist Gijs van Bon, STRINGED transforms poetry into a shifting visual experience. taken in University of Leeds by @lightnightleeds

Just two weeks to go until Leeds lights up like this 🌌 As the city prepares for Light Night Leeds, we’re looking back over some of the fantastic creations that have illuminated Leeds over the past 21(!) years. Since the festival started in 2005 it has become a staple in the Leeds calendar, bringing thousands of you to interact with illuminated artworks right across the city centre. This year Light Night Leeds takes on the theme of ‘A City Speaks…’, and, coinciding with our 400th celebrations, it will see over 40 installations that explore the stories, people and places that have shaped Leeds over the past 400 years.

Artist K Walker @incloseproximity takes us behind the scenes in their artist studio at Fiik Studios, home of @lax.leeds for a sneak peek at the making of their new artwork. 🚨 For Light Night Leeds 2026, Walker will present ‘I want ur hands on me (unrequited)’. Supported by @yorkshiredancepictures, the work combines performance, sculpture, sound, and moving image to explore queer nightlife. This immersive installation will evoke the emotional ups and downs of clubbing, from the excitement of the dancefloor to the loneliness that can sometimes accompany you onto it. Experience it on 28 and 29 Oct, 6.30–9.30 pm at The Attic, Leeds @theatticleeds Please see the link in our bio for further information 🔗 #LeedsCulturalInvestmentProgramme #leedsinspired #lightnightleeds #contemporaryart by @lightnightleeds

Another short clip from ‘We Are Stardust’ - a new commission for University of Leeds to develop a large-scale light projection for @lightnightleeds The artwork explores research by Prof Alison Young in Astrophysics and Dr Florence Bell’s work with X Ray crystallography at the university. In this clip, you can see researcher Connall Kavanagh’s simulations of supermassive black holes forming after galaxies merge. They reveal how the immense gravitational forces pull clouds of gases and cosmic dust towards galaxies as they move closer and closer to each other. The simulations are combined with a new soundtrack by @tjameshamilton to evoke the origins of the visualisations – the supercomputers churning through vast amounts of data to generate them. ‘We Are Stardust’ will be screened as a large-scale projection on the university campus during @lightnightleeds on 28th and 29th Oct. It tours to Barnsley Bright Nights in Nov. @lutnorth @lightnightleeds @openup.uol @unileedsculture #BarnsleyBrightNights #bansley_college #space #smoothparticlehydrodynamics #xraycrystallography #DNAstructure #particles #diffractionpatterns #florencebell #astrophysics #planetformation #blackholes #artandastronomy #acretiondiscs #supermassiveblackholes #neutronstars #galaxyformation by @lightnightleeds
