‘Colour and Light’ is an immersive projection experience for the whole family, illuminating York Minster during the dark evenings of winter. Brought to the city by the York BID, the unique show has been created by Doubletake Projections using projection mapping to re-imagine the facade of the iconic South Transept of York Minster. The free public show will be visible from the South Piazza of the Minster from 6pm to 9pm every evening from February 10th – 23rd. The show will be on an 8-minute loop, and viewers are invited to stay for as many showings as they wish. No booking is required.
