As part of the Church of England’s 2018 Christmas campaign #FollowTheStar, the south side of the Cathedral is to be lit up with a light show on Friday 21 December.
Church House has commissioned the Lumiere from a company which has masterminded projections for the London 2012 Olympics, Lumiere Durham, and a permanent installation on the Blackpool Tower. A similar event will also be taking place at Durham Cathedral on the same evening.
The light show will be projected from the Campanile Garden and will be part of Choral Evensong. It is open to all by coming to Evensong in the Quire at 5.30pm and joining the procession outside during the service or by gathering in the Precincts by 5.45pm in time for the light show to begin.
