Illuminating York Minster
Shout at it! Go on!
Tuesday, 30th October 2007
It's that time of year again, that depressingly dark absurdly early time of year. This week though, look chipper, because Illuminating York is here to ease our pain!

If you've walked anywhere near the Minster recently, you may have noticed the stunning projected light show, but more likely, heard the groups of enamoured viewers shouting at the Cathedral to manipulate the ascending patterns, sounding a lot like terribly polite football fans. Go and join in, it's a wonderful and slightly surreal medley of visual beauty and effective stress relief.

The dots are places to see, good places to see

If your neck gets sore from gazing at the main Minster attraction for too long, there are at least a million other events on around town, including projections and shows by recent St. John's graduates and talks to coincide with late night opening hours in the Art Gallery.

This is a mighty fine week for York Arts and an even greater week for couples who love a cheap date.

Illuminating York is running from 26th October to 3rd November, head here for more information.
