Divine Beauty at Night

The sell-out immersive sound and light show returns to Birmingham Cathedral in 2024!

World-renowned light and sound projection company Luxmuralis will be returning to Birmingham Cathedral in January 2024, with their sell-out light and sound experience ‘Divine Beauty at Night’.

This immersive experience, based on the cathedral’s four remarkable stained-glass windows, tells the story of the windows, their imagery and their history.

Colourful patterns and sections from the windows will be projected onto the inside of the cathedral, accompanied by specially commissioned music. This unique piece of art will bring the story of the windows to life through an emotive story.

This spectacular performance is suitable for all ages
