Northern is inviting Harrogate passengers to experience the magic of Leeds Light Night with a special £2 train fare into the city.
Celebrating its 20th year, Light Night Leeds takes place on Wednesday 22nd and Thursday 23rd October, transforming Leeds into an open-air gallery filled with light, colour and creativity.
This year’s theme, Landmarks, will see some of the city’s most recognisable buildings illuminated through large-scale projections, installations and immersive displays.
One of the highlights will be a striking projection on the city’s iconic Queen’s Hotel, celebrating 200 years of the modern railway - a fitting tribute for those arriving by train.
To help more people experience the festival, train operator Northern is offering £2 single advance tickets for travel to Leeds from a wide range of stations across its network.
The offer covers journeys from towns and cities including Halifax, Bradford, Skipton, Harrogate, Dewsbury, Wakefield, York, Doncaster and more.
Alex Hornby, commercial and customer director for Northern, said:
"Light Night is one of the highlights of the year for Leeds, with the festival brightening up our autumn evenings for an incredible twenty years now.
"With trains running late into the evening, we're urging people to leave the car at home and enjoy an affordable, sustainable journey to the festival - it’s the perfect opportunity to make a night of it."
To take advantage of the £2 offer, tickets must be bought up to three days in advance through Northern's website or app. A full list of destinations where £2 tickets can be bought from is available on Northern's website.
