Showing the city’s most iconic buildings in a different light

It may be over a year away, but something to look forward to in 2009 will be the arrival of Light Night in Sheffield.

Six UK cities have been selected to host Light Night, starting with Birmingham next month. The idea is that for one night only, the key buildings in each city centre are illuminated using high quality light projections in order to show the environment from a different perspective.

To accompany this, areas in the city are also opened up for some sort of cultural, community festival.

Exact details at the moment are sketchy, but it’ll be worth keeping any eye on the other Light Night events before the Sheffield one to see what sort of thing we can expect.
