Quieter, after-hours evening viewing of Luke Jerram's suspended Earth sculpture 'Gaia' in the nave of St Albans Cathedral, without music or additional lighting.
Luke Jerram's Gaia is back at St Albans Cathedral for a series of relaxed evening viewings, and the one on Sunday 17 January is one of them. If you've seen the main installation, this is a different way of doing it: Gaia Lates Relaxed is the quieter, after-hours alternative to the standard Gaia Lates session. It's a half-hour evening viewing of the suspended Earth, but without the music or additional lighting, and with fewer visitors around. It's a stripped-back version of the experience, and it sits in the Nave of the Cathedral, a historic abbey church at the heart of the city that runs concerts, talks, exhibitions, tours and major cultural events alongside its religious life.
Because it's a relaxed session, it's a good shout if you're not in the mood for a crowd or if you'd rather take it in at your own pace. The half-hour window gives you plenty of time to sit with the piece without feeling rushed, and the absence of music and extra lighting keeps things simple. It's a quiet, focused way to spend a Sunday evening in the city.

This isn't a one-off, either. There are a few dates to choose from: Tuesday 5 January at 18:30, Sunday 17 January at 17:15, Sunday 31 January at 17:15, and Sunday 7 February at 17:15. Each one lasts half an hour, so you can pick the evening that works best for you. Tickets are £10 standard, with concessions at £0 and under-16s free, though you'll still need to book for them. Booking is essential for all sessions, so it's worth getting yours sorted in advance.
