Sarum Lights to brighten winter nights in Salisbury

Innovative light and sound show Sarum Lights is returning to Salisbury Cathedral for a fifth year.

The cathedral will host the premiere of Time, a light and sound show created by the acclaimed artistic collaboration Luxmuralis.

The immersive event will transform both the interior and exterior of the cathedral, filling it with dazzling light, dynamic soundscapes, and multiple projection installations.

Time promises to be an extraordinary exploration of humanity’s relationship with the concept of time, offering audiences an unforgettable journey through history, science, and imagination.

Visitors will be guided through a series of captivating installations that portray humans as seen through different eras, exploring the fascinating theories of relativity, and the text of H.G. Wells’ The Time Machine.

Through the immersive projected artworks attendees will traverse wormholes, venture inside the intricate workings of clocks, and experience a dramatic narrative that spans from the present day back to the very beginning of everything.

The grand finale in the cathedral’s nave will take spectators on a mesmerising voyage through the epochs of humanity, ultimately reaching the formation of our planet, creating a profound and awe-inspiring conclusion to the event.

Sarum Lights: Time runs from November 5 to 9, with timed entry between 5.30pm and 8pm. Once inside, spectators can explore at their own pace.
