A fantastic sound and light show is set to illuminate Peterborough Cathedral again this year with a new art projection by Luxmuralis.
The first event last year was a huge success and now a second son et lumière performance is to be staged in November, when Luxmuralis bring us new light show, The Beginning, from Wednesday November 23 to Saturday November 26.
This sequel to The Angels are Coming (pictured below) will once again transform the magnificent west front and nave of Peterborough Cathedral with light and will be a must-see event in the build up to Christmas.

The latest show is based around the Nativity story and timed to coincide with the start of the Advent season. If last year’s incredible projections are anything to go by this promises to be another stunning experience for all the family.
The Artistic Director of Luxmuralis, Peter Walker, said: “We are delighted to return to the Cathedral and present this new adapted work this Christmas. The Peterborough audience is fantastic and the city comes alive during Advent. We look forward to working again with the Cathedral team and seeing individuals and families return and enjoy this uplifting light show and beautiful music.”
It starts with a colourful light projection onto the outside of the Cathedral, accompanied by music composed by David Harper, then you will enter the medieval building to experience an immersive light and sound installation, this time inspired by the fragility and beauty of Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris.

ESP went along to see The Angels are Coming by Luxmuralis at Peterborough last year and thought it was a fantastic event for the city. Other visitors described the show as “magnificent, beautiful and festive”, “truly memorable and mesmerising” and “a very moving experience from start to finish.”
The Very Revd Chris Dalliston, Dean of Peterborough said: “I know how much visitors enjoyed the light show from Luxmuralis last year and we can’t wait to see this year’s presentation. Advent and Christmas are always very special times at Peterborough Cathedral and this will be a wonderful way to be reminded of the Nativity story in a fresh and exciting way as we begin our Christmas preparations.”
