A community engagement project with local schools will run alongside it. Winchester Cathedral has just announced a new creative partnership with the team which will launch on October 1 with Light of Hope, an illuminated five-metre diameter steel sculptural artwork created to represent hope that will hang in the nave through to January 2023. Works by the artistic collaboration, Peter Walker and David Harper, that make up Luxmuralis can be found in several of our cathedrals throughout autumn and winter.

Under 3s go free but a ticket will need to be booked. SCIENCE is on 21 – 24 September with tickets priced at £11 per person on a timed entry system and can be found on the Cathedral website. “Projects like this are very exciting and important for the Cathedral as they allow visitors to experience our magnificent building in a very different way. “We’re very excited to be hosting SCIENCE in September, which promises to be a spectacular show, featuring an immersive internal sound and light journey that will transform the interior of our majestic Cathedral. Stephen Edwards, Vice-Dean of Worcester Cathedral, said: In Worcester SCIENCE will see the interior of the cathedral transformed by light projections accompanied by a special soundscape from the artistic collaboration Luxmuralis. The artwork is designed to encourage visitors to explore and contemplate the contributions of science and human endeavour in our understanding of the world around us. We look forward to making all age groups welcome.”
I hope it will be a great autumn attraction. This is another opportunity not only to see something beautiful and eye-catching, but to be awed. Over the past few years the Cathedral has been encouraging visitors to think about the universe and its origins and the role of humanity within God’s good creation. It is really excellent to bring the ‘Museum of the Moon’ to Lichfield. “Luke Jerram’s work has won praise and acclamation wherever it has been seen. The Dean of Lichfield, the Very Revd Adrian Dorber, said: Visitors during the daytime will be able to view Museum of the Moon as part of their visit while evening event tickets can be booked through the Cathedral website at here and are £5 for adults, £3 for children with under 3s FREE. The Museum of the Moon features detailed NASA imagery of the lunar surface and at an approximate scale of 1:500,000, each centimetre of this sculpture represents 5km of the moon’s surface. Luke Jerram’s art installation of the moon, the Museum of the Moon opens in Lichfield Cathedral this Wednesday (21 September) until 31 October. “Just as astronauts have gazed in wonder of the Earth from space, I hope that ‘Gaia’ will inspire visitors to think about the significance of creation, our role as custodians on the planet and the environmental impact that we have on the natural world.” “I think this artwork provides a new perspective of our place on the planet, a sense that societies of the Earth are all interconnected and that we have a responsibility toward one another. “Derby Cathedral is the perfect space for this awe-inspiring and reflective artwork. The Very Revd Dr Peter Robinson, Dean of Derby, explained: Suspended in the nave of Derby Cathedral, Gaia, which is seven metres in diameter, will allow visitors to experience the earth up close and has inspired an events programme around living well and caring for our planet.
