Travel the universe without ever leaving Rochester Cathedral
Published 4 August
Space Voyage is a spectacular internal sound and light show which will transform the inside of the majestic Rochester Cathedral.
The show has been created by award winning artistic collaboration ‘Luxmuralis’, Peter Walker Sculptor and David Harper Composer.
Space Voyage takes visitors on an immersive journey though light and sound. The visual spectacular allows viewers to go on a journey though space and time and gives visitors the chance to walk amongst the stars.
Sound and light art will be projected onto the stunning architectural features within the Cathedral and visitors are enveloped with bespoke music as they view and experience a journey to the edge of the Universe and back. Visitors will walk though projection art installations, be immersed in the sound and light, and have the chance to explore and contemplate their own personal journeys.
The show will take place on the evenings of the 5, 6 and 7 October. Tickets are now on sale and advance booking is highly recommended.
The experience is suitable for visitors of all ages. Find out more
