REFLECTIONS
Scarborough Lights 2024 began with Reflections, a stunning collection of light installations set in the historic St Mary’s Church. Featuring works by Adrian Riley, Animated Objects, and Astro Dog, this mesmerising display combined glowing dedications, meditative art inspired by medieval traditions, and a cosmic journey through astrophotography and projection. Each piece offered a unique perspective on light, history, and the stars, creating an unforgettable experience for all visitors.
