Everyone has different needs, and for 2025 we are working to share as much clear and factual access information as possible.

When booking Lumiere tickets, you will be asked if you have any access requirements. This information helps us to share tailored updates and guidance with you in advance of the event.

Please be aware that Durham is known for its cobbled, steep and winding streets, which can make getting around some installations more challenging. Wet weather may make surfaces slippery, and Lumiere takes place outdoors at night.

We are currently preparing detailed information about routes, sensory considerations, accessible parking, toilets, and more. This will be published closer to the event.
