    Ten light and sound displays illuminated Harrogate last night as part of a free public arts event.

    Beam Light Festival encourages visitors to explore a town centre trail to see the rich and varied displays while stopping to spend money in pubs and restaurants.

    Leeds-based artist and lighting designer James Bawn used beams and soundscapes to animate areas, including the war memorial and Crescent Gardens.

    Organised by arts charity Harrogate International Festivals, the two-night event lasts from dusk until 10pm . It ends tonight (Saturday, March 16).

    Sharon Canavar, chief executive of Harrogate International Festivals, told a reception to mark the opening night that Beam celebrated the town centre.

    "We have some fabulous buildings and this will encourage people to look up and see them."




    The event is supported by Harrogate International Festival’s Future 50 appeal, North Yorkshire Council, Visit North Yorkshire and Harrogate Business Improvement District.

    More information is available here. Below are some of the displays
