Colour and Light is back for 2025. This year returning to York Minster. The light projection is brought to the city by The York BID

Running from Wednesday 12th February to Sunday 2nd March, this year’s free event will celebrate the beauty of York’s wildlife, creating an unforgettable event for all ages, and highlighting the city’s heritage and creativity. It will run nightly from 6pm to 9pm, with projections on a 10-minute loop.

The display will combine famous and lesser-known stories about York’s wildlife, from the peregrine falcons that call the Minster home and the foxes that roam the city after dark, to the horses that the Roman’s rode into Eboracum on, and the legendary dragons carved into York’s history.
