During Light Night you could discover an immersive sound and light installation, check out our exhibition, Lauren Gault: Cithra, or simply stop by for a drink and some amazing Italian street food.

In our South Bank Room, Artlink West Yorkshire presented Change – an immersive, sculptural sound and light installation exploring the theme of weather in both urban and natural landscapes.

Change combined moving sculpture with animated projections to chart the progress of an unfolding weather front, immersing us in rain, lightning and a storm, raising issues of our increasingly volatile climate.

We held a free family workshop between 5.30–8.30pm in our Restaurant to create your own wind spinner using wire and card.

As well as the installation in the South Bank Room, our Bar was open late for both nights and Luigi Street Food Italiano joined us, serving up their delicious menu of arancini, panzerotti and more.

We also had a special boozy hot chocolate bar on our terrace to warm you up.
