November events: Eyes on the sky for Light Up Lancaster

Stunning autumn colours, snug open fires, real ales on tap, live music and a fantastic choice of regional food make the compact city of Lancaster the perfect city break during the autumn.

During the Light up Lancaster festival, which takes place at the beginning of November, take a stroll through the city centre for a unique evening art installations that animate the city's beautiful buildings and squares. Make time to visit the Queen's only castle in the north and learn about the ill-fated Lancashire Witches, a perfect tale for a dark autumn evening. And wrap up your day with a spectacular firework display over the Lancaster skyline.
