They are separated into individual zones, with several shows taking place within each zone.

Light Night, Leeds
Key Events
Power of Poetry
Robert Montgomery’s Power of Poetry outside Leeds Town Hall is part of a series of poems which explore different aspects of the game of Rugby League.
Walk the dinosaur
“I want to see all the lights and I want to see dinosaurs!”
The demands of four-year-old Howard Keenan may not be met in full, but we’re sure he’ll have plenty of fun!
Enthusiastic visitors
Light Night fan Amreen Tai said: “We came last year - we came to the big interactive one in Millennium Square, and were basically pushing children out of the way to play on it - sorry!
“This year we are trying to plan it a little bit more - we are going to Trinity then walking up to Millennium Square”
Send us your pics!
So I’m on liveblog duties until 8pm, so unfortunately can’t be at the event 😭 - so I’m hoping you guys who are in Leeds city centre can really help me enjoy the full light night experience by sending your photos and thoughts on the events you see - I’m on [email protected], or on twitter @reporterrichb.
Alternatively, keep an eagle eye out and say “hi” to our roving reporter Abi Whistance, who will be dashing from event to event!
Take a look
Not long before darkness falls on Leeds City Centre. Why not take a look at this magnificent attraction...
