This year's theme is Rhythm of the Light

An art trail on Liverpool's waterfront has returned after being cancelled last year due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The River of Light trail showcases 12 illuminated installations in a 2km (1.2 miles) walking trail created by local, national and international artists.

This year's theme is Rhythm of the Light with each artwork inspired by the relationship between the city, music and light.

The lights shine each evening until 7 December.

Claire McColgan, director of Culture Liverpool, said: "It feels like the city's really woken up, it feels like Liverpool is back."
