Colour & Light will once again transform York Minster’s iconic South Transept this February. 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.

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.

The projection will run each evening from Wednesday 12 February to Sunday 2 March between 6pm and 9pm, with projections on a 10-minute loop.
