MORE than 5,000 tickets have been sold for the Sarum Lights: Time event at Salisbury Cathedral.
A new Sarum Lights display, by Luxmuralis, will open in Salisbury on Tuesday, November 5, running until November 9, supported by CCLA Good Investment.
The brand-new light and sound show promises “spectacular, ever-changing projections” on the exterior west front of the cathedral, while inside the architecture will be lit up by fascinating light shows, including a finale down the full length of the nave.
“Sarum Lights: Time will be an extraordinary exploration of humanity’s relationship with the concept of time, offering visitors an unforgettable journey through history, science and imagination,” said an event spokesperson.
“Through the immersive projected artworks visitors will traverse wormholes, venture inside the intricate workings of clocks and experience a dramatic narrative that stretches from the present day back to the very beginning of time.

“The show will include examples of early cave paintings, a walk through Einstein’s theories of relativity and text from HG Wells’ The Time Machine.
“As well as the usual stunning visuals and sounds, there will also be the addition of an interactive installation called A Note to Myself, which will encourage visitors to write a message to themselves, either their younger selves, themselves today or their thoughts for the future. The postcards will then form a growing cascade in the north transept of the cathedral.”
The display is open from 5.30pm each evening, with 15-minute timed slots available. Tickets must be booked in advance, and are available via www.salisburycathedral.org.uk.
