The event is part of the Museums at Night initiative when galleries and museums around Europe open late, staging special events.
Christina Grogan of Open Culture, the LightNight coordinators said: “Putting the programme together has been so exciting. We think it’s the best ever LightNight with over 70 fantastic free events. For the first time we’ve also got amazing light projections by Andy McKeown on the Metropolitan Cathedral and on the side of St John’s Shopping Centre”.
