Family-friendly sound and light show by Luxmuralis exploring journeys of exploration, migration and discovery, with timed evening slots.
Sarum Lights returns to Salisbury Cathedral from Tuesday 3 to Saturday 7 November, with the projection art studio Luxmuralis back for its seventh year. This year's show is called Great Journeys, and it's a brand-new production rather than a repeat of previous ones.
The theme is exactly what it says on the tin: the many voyages that have shaped our world. It starts with early human migration and animal movement, then moves on to legendary voyages of exploration, the development of transport, mapping and discovery, and finally the personal journeys of an individual's life. There are installations both inside and outside the Cathedral, each giving a different perspective on movement and connection, before the whole thing culminates in the soaring nave, transformed by large-scale projection and an immersive soundtrack with an original score. It's a family-friendly sound and light experience, so it works as well for kids as it does for adults.
Canon Treasurer Neil Traynor, chair of the Cathedral's Arts Advisory Panel, has described it as a privilege to work alongside Luxmuralis and to premiere a new show each year. The event is supported by Trethowans.
