Lewes Light 2017!

Lewes's annual festival of light took place on the evenings of 13 - 15 October this year providing spectacular illuminations all along the high street. Creative designers, artists and local students from South Downs College provided installations, animations and interactive events.  Best of all was the strange 'Ghost Train' crossing Cliff High Street at intervals, vividly evoking the experience of the steam train which crossed in that very spot decades ago when the line to Uckfield still existed. 
A memorable night - congratulations to all involved!
