This year the free, interactive light show celebrates its 10th anniversary. A total of 15 artworks will be spread across Salford Quays and Media City over the course of four evenings in December for the event, presented by Quays Culture.

Meanwhile on dry land, a tunnel of giant mirror rings will cover a 50m stretch of the Media City Piazza.
