Join us as we journey through outer space, gaze up at emerging galaxies, and explore the wonders of the heavens, as you make your way through Space by Luxmuralis at Tewkesbury’s magnificent Abbey.

Space is a light and sound art installation created by artistic collaboration Luxmuralis; who have been touring cathedrals and churches in England for several years.

This experience, in which Luxmuralis return to Tewkesbury three years after their Festival of Lights installation in Autumn 2021, will take visitors on an exploration through galaxies, outer-space and the ambition to adventure beyond.

Stunning projections onto the Abbey’s 900-year-old architecture will showcase the vastness of the universe, planetary exploration, and show the final image of Earth, looking back from space under a galaxy of stars.

In an experience lasting about 45 minutes, visitors will enter the Abbey in darkness through the North Door, before journeying around the building, encountering vibrant projections in different areas, accompanied by an immersive soundscape.

The experience includes an awe-inspiring projection in the Nave, the central aisle of the Abbey. The space will be clear of pews, and visitors can use the seating at the sides to take a moment to pause, look out into space and ponder the fragility of humanity and our own planet.

Vicar of Tewkesbury Abbey, Revd. Canon Nick Davies says; “We’re really excited that Luxmuralis is returning to the Abbey and hope that this will be another breathtaking opportunity for people to marvel at the heavens and the wonders of creation. This is a spectacular installation in an awe-inspiring building and we look forward to welcoming tens of thousands to enjoy it. We would encourage people to book early to avoid disappointment.”
