Lumiere Returns to Durham
Lumiere is coming back to Durham in 2025.
And where better to take in the magic than The Riverwalk?
With the UK’s largest light art festival returning from 13–16 November 2025, Durham will once again transform into a glowing wonderland — and The Riverwalk will be right at the heart of it all.
Whether you're here for the installations, the food, or the festive atmosphere:
Stroll by the riverside light displays
Grab a bite from one of our buzzing restaurants
Warm up with coffee, cocktails, or cocoa with a view
Snap the perfect Lumiere photo
As the lights come on across the city, The Riverwalk will be the perfect place to meet, eat, and soak in the glow.
Mark your calendars now: 13–16 November 2025
We’ll be waiting with lights on and doors open.
