Light show set for return to city for 17th time

The Primal Future display will be the main attraction at the two-day event

A two-day light festival is set to return to Nottingham for the 17th time.

Nottingham Light Night will see more than 35 immersive and interactive light-based installations, performances and activities taking place across the city.

The event - which attracts 50,000 visitors a year - begins on Friday 28 February and wraps up the following day.

Alex Flint, chief executive of It's in Nottingham, the city's business improvement district, said: "Events like this not only bring people together but also provide a significant boost to local businesses, reinforcing Nottingham's position as a cultural hub."

The event will take place on 28 February and 1 March

The main attraction, called Primal Future, at Old Market Square, will feature a projection on the Council House - bringing together "dynamic dance, cutting-edge technology, and motion graphics", all set to a commissioned soundtrack.

Nottingham Castle will also be bathed with a visual projection created by Inspire Youth Arts, Urban Projections, and music producer Kirk Spencer.

Another installation will also be on show at Sneinton Market.

Councillor Sam Lux, executive member for leisure and culture at the council, said it was "excited to showcase local talent", and welcome an array of artists from across the UK and beyond.

The event is funded by the National Lottery through Arts Council England, It's in Nottingham and Nottingham City Council.
