Too much shuffling about at a snail's pace for me. Is it people taking photos holding people up?

Maybe I just don’t get it. The stuff projected onto the cathedral was crap an all.

Last time it was in London was at the beginning of 2018 and it was all around Trafalgar Square/Piccadilly Circus/Regent Street and lower Soho. Don't know if earlier versions were around Kings Cross. I do know that they are also doing something in Kew Gardens over Christmas.I've seen some of the Kings Cross one. I think it was when we played Arsenal away in the FA Cup a few years back. I've got a picture of my daughter on a swing in a big light up bird cage.

yesGoing to Durham for a drink tonight, will I be affected by this shite?
You just need to stay off the peninsula until 7.30 - you can go North Road, Millenium Square, Elvet area etc., until 7.30 then can go anywhere after.Going to Durham for a drink tonight, will I be affected by this shite?
Except you missed the best installation at the Botanic Gardens (and the New Inn isn't South).
I think this "spread it outside of the city centre" idea really took away from the event in general. Most people can't realistically see everything in one place anymore.A lot of people will have missed that as I didn't see anyone push on past the Physics building and not too many people even went that far.
As already mentioned, its actually a tour, not just a Durham thingNorth East - Here's your yearly excitement, obvs down South we wouldn't bother.
Go later on, when its quiet.Exactly why I won’t go. Shuffling around to be disappointed.
Council misled a lot of folk into using the park and ride. The Walkergate car park had a lot, a lot, of empty spaces.
The clock projection isn’t part of the lumiere. It’s on every nightThank you for this tip! Got to Durham about 5.15pm tonight. The Belmont park and ride was full. Went to Walkergate and there were masses of empty spaces to choose from! Plus the parking was cheaper than it would have cost on the Park and Ride bus.
Started at the Heron and walked along and over the bridge for the whale.
Worked back along the other side of the river and up North Road.
Walked out to the County hospital ones and St Godrics.
Went back though The Gates and where the coloured baubles were.
Did the ones around the Gala and the Atoms.
Up to the Market Place and round Prince Bishops.
Went to Palace Green and in the Cathedral.
Out the back and down through the Bailey.
Walked along South Street and back up Silver Street, then back to the car.
That took five hours and we didn't see everything but we were cold and wet and it had started to rain heavy again, so we came home.
I liked the vests! Loved the neon dogs and the brain one under the viaduct was fascinating. I like the projection clock opposite the Gala. Enjoyed the atom display.
Was disappointing that the fire garden in the Cloisters and out the back of the Cathedral didn't look very impressive as the rain had put a lot of it out, but they can't really do anything about the weather! The lights to the left of Prebends bridge towards the Count's House had all gone out and people were sliding about on wet leaves in the darkness, so we missed that out. The queue to get on the riverside path was really big so we went via South Street and viewed the Cathedral from half way down there instead. Not as good a view but the rain was getting worse and we didn't want to wait in the queue.
Overall a decent night out with my Mam and my bairns
Prince bishops has been full by mid afternoon every day so far and then they shut off the access road.I'm going tonight with the kids for a few hours. I've noticed people saying it takes 4 hours and you miss some so if you could tell me the ones to see and avoid that would be most helpful. Expecting to park in prince bishop car park unless there's somewhere better?
