To support Lumiere is to support one of County Durham’s great treasures – an event that brings art, culture and magic to everyone, while enriching local lives throughout the year. To be able to offer businesses match funding once again, and the chance to support our Poverty Hurts Appeal is a win-win situation that can only strengthen our communities as they face increasing hardship.
Michelle Cooper Chief Executive, County Durham Community Foundation, Lumiere 2023, Event Partner

We are delighted to have worked alongside Artichoke Trust to support its biennial light art festival, Lumiere, last November. The festival plays an important role in bringing communities together in Durham and it was a great privilege to be involved in this wonderful event.
