Durham Lumiere
Midas were delighted to be appointed as sole power contractor for this stunning event in the beautiful city of Durham, produced by Artichoke Productions in partnership with Sky Arts and associate producer, north east based DGB Events, supported by Arts Council England, Durham County Council, culture10 and a host of other partners to bolster Durham's campaign to be UK City of Culture in 2013.
Durham Lumiere was a four-day festival that brightened the historic city of Durham, bringing a sprinkle of winter magic to the North East. More than 50 artists created a breathtaking series of installations, illuminations and performances using light. An estimated 72,000 people attended the event over the four days to witness Durham's stunning buildings, streets and river banks transformed into a winter wonderland.
Midas supplied all generators, mains cabling and distribution, project managed by Midas director Andy Dann who commented working in a cityscape such as Durham presented its own unique set of challenges, from a UNESCO world heritage site in the form of Durham Cathedral to a vibrant busy town centre, surrounded on three sides by the fast flowing river Wear certainly kept me and my trusty team of five on our toes.
