Every year at the beginning of December, the centre of Huddersfield is brought to mysterious life in the cold evenings by the Festival of Light.

The festival was first held in the town only in 2006 and has become hugely popular, attracting thousands of visitors to watch and join in, with torchlight processions, live music, street theatre, food festival, daring high wire acts and fireworks to mention just a few of the highlights.
