Salisbury Cathedral – Sarum Lights, Tuesday 4 to Saturday 8 November

Salisbury Cathedral will premiere a brand-new light and sound show from Luxmuralis this November, when Sarum Lights returns.

Sarum Lights: Lost World will run from Tuesday 4 to Saturday 8 November.

This immersive event will transform both the exterior, interior and cloisters of the Cathedral with light, dynamic soundscapes and projection installation, illuminating the architecture of the spectacular medieval building.

Sarum Lights: Lost Worlds will explore the historical and mythical worlds that have been lost in time, from ancient gods and prehistoric art to medieval manuscripts and mythical lands.

On arrival, on the west front of Salisbury Cathedral, visitors will see a kaleidoscopic display of Greek gods, Roman art and Etruscan iconography. As visitors enter the Cloisters, they will walk through an immersive display of cave paintings depicting animals, geometric patterns and objects from prehistory.

Inside the Cathedral, a world of knights and castles will greet visitors, with medieval manuscripts, art and maps from the Middle Ages illuminating the dramatic architecture, referencing the medieval origins of the building, and accompanied by a specially-created soundscape.

At the east end of the Cathedral, imagery of the Garden of Eden will fill the Trinity Chapel, while in the nave of the Cathedral visitors will experience an impressive journey through mythical lost worlds such as Atlantis and Troy, and an encounter with dinosaurs.

Sarum Lights: Lost Worlds runs from Tuesday 4 – Saturday 8 November 2025 from 5.30pm each evening, with 15-minute timed entry slots available. Tickets are £12 for adults (£10 on the opening night) and £6 for children. They can be purchased from www.salisburycathedral.org.uk.

Low sound screenings for those visitors who would welcome a quieter experience will be available from 5.30pm-6.30pm on Tuesday 4 and Wednesday 5 November.
