Over 4,000 people visited Carlisle for its City of Lights event.
City of Lights took place over three nights and featured lighting up of the city’s historic landmarks and a spectacular sound and light experience at Carlisle Cathedral, Tullie House Museum and Art Gallery Gardens and Carlisle Castle.
It was held over three nights between Friday and Sunday.
This year’s event was part of the Hadrian’s Wall 1900 Festival and ticket holders were transported through time from the present day to Roman times in Luguvalium – Carlisle.
City of Lights was organised by the city council’s Discover Carlisle team, Luxmuralis, On Cue Productions and Just Beam It in association with Cumbria County Council.
Carlisle City councillor Stephen Higgs, portfolio holder for culture, heritage and leisure, said: “Carlisle City of Lights was a resounding success and I’d like to thank all those in involved in making it happen. It has been part of our events programme since 2020 and we have worked hard to make this event bigger and better featuring Carlisle Cathedral, Tullie House and Carlisle Castle. This year it celebrated Carlisle’s Roman heritage and linked in with the Hadrian’s Wall 1900 Festival.”
