The walking trail spans 2km and includes brand-new, world premiere pieces alongside existing artworks which have never been displayed in the city before. The trail is self-guided with no need to book a ticket. The light installations are switched on at 5pm and switched off at 9pm every evening.

The trail launched on Friday, October 21 and will run until Sunday, November 6. The exhibition is designed to be family friendly and inclusive. It is advised that small children are accompanied by an adult at all times. Dogs are allowed to walk the trail.

People are advised to check the Visit Liverpool social media channels to keep up to date with when the River of Light trail will return. You can find Visit Liverpool on Twitter here and on Instagram here .
