PLAY YOUR CARDS LIGHT

The spectacular structure entitled House of Cards will be in place at Victoria Leeds, one of an incredible array of illuminated artworks coming to the city for the two-night arts extravaganza on October 13 and 14.

Created by Israeli artists OGE Group, House of Cards will be made up of 128 beautiful light boxes, each taking the form of a playing card which will light up in sequence.

House of Cards will be sponsored by Victoria Leeds and has been commissioned to fit this year’s Light Night theme of Playful City.

Over two nights, famous locations and spaces all across the city centre will host 50 jaw-dropping artworks which will encourage thousands of visitors to engage and interact with the city in new, fun and innovative ways.

Elsewhere The Queen’s Hotel will take the people of Leeds on a futuristic, digital rollercoaster ride while the historic frontage of Leeds Civic Hall will be the backdrop to a retro, interactive game paying tribute to the 1980s.

At Leeds Playhouse, a giant, luminous slinky will tumble from the rooftops while Wellington Place will host a stunning modern twist on the tale of Rapunzel.

Now in its 18th year, Light Night Leeds attracts more than 100,000 people to the city centre over its two nights. Installations are hosted in a series of zones, each generously sponsored by a local business or organisation.

This year, Light Night events will also take place outside the city centre, with an illuminated swim at Bramley Baths and a special light-themed play session at Left Bank.
