Leeds is about to get a lot brighter. ✨

Light Night Leeds returns on 28 and 29 October, filling the city centre with light installations, projections and after-dark experiences.

And we’ve been getting into the spirit at CitiPark Merrion Centre & first direct bank arena.

Our new lighting system lets us transform the exterior with different colours and combinations, so naturally, we’ve been experimenting.

If you’re heading into Leeds for Light Night, CitiPark Merrion Centre & first direct Arena is conveniently placed for exploring the city centre on foot.

Which colour combination gets your vote?

Light Night Leeds
28–29 October
6pm–9.30pm

Full parking details are available on the CitiPark website.

Not every car park gets its own piece of street art.

Our CitiPark Ilford rooftop has had a serious splash of colour thanks to artists Rough and Jason System, who have transformed part of the space with a striking new mural.

The artwork forms part of Ilford inColour, an initiative led by Ilford BID to bring more creativity into unexpected spaces around the town.

For us, it’s a great example of how an everyday space can become something more, and how local businesses can play a part in making the places around them feel more vibrant.

We think the rooftop is looking pretty good.
