The dark nights and frosty weather have inevitably taken hold, but fear not – a much-needed winter warmer has arrived, in the form of stunning light show Edinburgh Lumen<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Bid farewell to the miserable walk home in the pitch black. This breath-taking display, which has already made national headlines<\/a>, will transform St Andrew Square, Assembly Rooms Lane<\/strong> and The Mound Precinct<\/strong> with a visual and sound masterclass.<\/p>\n

Running until 11 March, the event is designed to show a different side to a city that is so highly-regarded for its iconic summer and Christmas festivals. Organisers are urging passers-by to take in the “more peaceful and reflective mood” in these winter months, before big-hitters like the Fringe return later in the year.<\/p>\n

What can we expect?<\/h3>\n

Offering up a calm aura, the three eye-catching installations – Serenity Garden, Moments Lane and Oceans of Light – are lighting up the heart of the city every evening between 5pm and 10.30pm.<\/p>\n

Serenity Garden promises to turn the green space of St Andrew Square into a peaceful retreat, with lights dotted around every feature of the garden, and calming music adding the finishing touch.<\/p>\n

Moments Lane, down the west lane of Assembly Rooms, is made up of three animated scenes projected onto the walls. A countryside scene, coral reef paradise and clear dark night taking in the Northern Lights will stop people in their tracks.<\/p>\n

Ocean of Light, meanwhile, brings a big immersive walkthrough light feature to the Mound, boasting 12,000 individual suspended lights. Visitors can make their way through and interact with the installation, which was designed by award-winning Squidsoup.<\/p>\n

Edinburgh Lumen, created by NL Productions for the City of Edinburgh Council, is free of charge.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
