Liverpool is one of Europe's leading lights. The city's reputation for imaginative lighting of its landmark buildings has gained international recognition. The Pool of Light project, which takes place throughout Liverpool from October 31st - November 30th 2008, brings some of the best international lighting designers to the European Capital of Culture for a unique lighting project.

Local people, young professionals and seven lighting designers will deliver a temporary lighting spectacle in eight locations in Autumn 2008, linking both sides of the world famous River Mersey. To find out how to get involved in the workshops or conference, check out the information on this website.

The Pool of Light project is supported by Liverpool City Council, Liverpool Vision, Mersey Waterfront Regional Park, Merseytravel, Northwest Regional Development Agency, Professional Lighting Design Association and Wirral Council.
