Salisbury Cathedral is soon to be adorned with the greatest paintings and artworks of the Renaissance period as an immersive light show returns with a new theme.

Premiering installations that take visitors on a "spellbinding" journey into the world of the great Italian masters, Sarum Lights – Renaissance runs from Tuesday 8 to Saturday, November 12.

Sarum Lights is a family-friendly experience that is entering its third year at the more than 800-year-old Wiltshire landmark.

It offers revelers the chance to discover history and art alike through music and images projected onto the Cathedral’s West Front, in the Cloisters, and in the main Cathedral building.

The Renaissance was a time of major transformation in all parts of European society - cultural, artistic, scientific, political, geographic, and economic. 

Extending from the late 1400s to the 1600s, it is now seen as the period that bridges the gap between the so-called ‘dark ages’ and the modern world, producing artists, architects, musicians, philosophers, and scientists who remain household names – not forgetting, of course, the famous Medici family.

Tickets for Salisbury Cathedral’s light and sound spectacular created by Luxmuralis, the team behind the Cathedral’s hugely successful light shows in 2020 and 2021, are still available on the Cathedral's website.

They must be booked in advance and won't be available on the night.
