This weekend Nottingham Light Night returned for its 11th year, dazzling the city with a spectacle of luminous lights and eclectic events. With dozens of artists, performers, inventors and organisers coming together, the city was lit up for not one, but two evenings of brilliant festivities, showcasing the creative talent that thrives within Nottingham.

We had Instagram extraordinaire  NottsNomad and Visit Notts' own Claire Jones out and about snapping some wonderful photos, here's some of our favourites.

t Mary’s Church – Grade 1 Listed and the largest medieval building in the city of Nottingham - is an iconic example of Nottingham’s prosperity during the 15th century. Its magnificent architecture - massive tower, slender columns, huge windows and alabaster monuments – testifies to the wealth poured into its construction by the guilds, merchants, and gentry of Nottingham society.
