Colour & Light 2026 (York)

Colour & Light returns as a free, choreographed projection and sound show that transforms the Eye of York after dark. For the first time, the projections span two landmark buildings together, York Castle Museum and Clifford's Tower, creating a combined canvas. The show runs on a continuous loop, with a new sequence starting roughly every 10 minutes during the evening window. It is presented by York BID in partnership with York Museums Trust, English Heritage, and Double Take Projections, with support from York and North Yorkshire Combined Authority. Visitors can drop in at any point, and the final hour each night is designed as a quieter period with reduced noise and crowd levels.
