SALISBURY’S most iconic landmark will be lit up with dazzling light and dynamic soundscapes as Sarum Lights returns to the city.

Sarum Lights: Lost Worlds, supported by Trethowans, will run from November 4 to 8.

In previous years, the event has attracted more than 12,000 people from across the area.

This year will see the cathedral premier a brand-new light and sound show from Luxmuralis.

The impressive light show 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 the cathedral, visitors will see spectacular imagery from the most ancient lost worlds, in 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 will run 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 to 6.30pm on November 4 and 5.
