Aurora Experience

Astro Dog is bringing the Northern Lights to St Columba's Church with the Aurora Experience, running from 16 to 22 November. It's a drop-in exhibition, so you can turn up any evening that week between 4.30pm and 9.30pm.

The photographer's work takes centre stage: large-format backlit frames of his aurora images line the walls, and each one comes with the story of how it was captured. The church itself is bathed in greens, reds, purples and pinks, with continuous timelapse screenings and film showings of his aurora footage running alongside. An original soundscape, woven from natural recordings made during his aurora chases, rounds out the experience.

There's more than just the images to look at. A Science and Discovery Area sets out the science, history and mythology of the aurora, and a children's creative corner opens the subject up for younger visitors. The central theme is light shining through darkness, which the organisers say resonates with the aurora and suits a church setting.

It's a pay-what-you-want entry, so you can give what you can. The exhibition runs from 16 to 22 November, and you can drop in any day between 4.30pm and 9.30pm at St Columba's Church in Scarborough.
