York's Winter Lights are being installed across the city centre ahead of their official switch-on on Thursday, November 12. The scheme, delivered by York BID in partnership with Make It York, aims to bring festive cheer to the streets throughout the winter.

A spokesman for York BID confirmed that the lights are currently being installed. The lights are switched on during the installation process and then turned off again ahead of the official switch-on event.

Last year's switch-on was marked by Christmas carols performed by pupils from The Mount School and festive projections displayed around the city.
