Ely Cathedral to be one of the first UK venues to host a new, large scale light show in 2024
Crown and Coronation is a spectacular immersive light and sound show on tour in the UK.
Following its highly acclaimed launch at the Tower of London in November 2023, Ely Cathedral will be one of the very first venues to host this spectacular show, which celebrates the spectacle, significance and inspiration of the Crown Jewels and the Coronation ceremony.
The project was created by Historic Royal Palaces in partnership with Luxmuralis, the artistic collaboration of artist Peter Walker and composer David Harper.
Joss Palmer, Event Manager at Ely Cathedral says “We feel very honoured to be one of the first venues in the UK to showcase this event. We have always admired Peter Walker’s work, and his creativity and talent in producing large scale light productions is legendary. This particular project, in partnership with Royal Historic Palaces, promises to be an amazing experience using the Cathedral as the most stunning backdrop for his latest work, Crown & Coronation.”
The entire Cathedral will be fully immersed in this dazzling light and sound exhibition. Visitors will experience a journey through history, from Wiliam the Conqueror to Queen Victoria, as large scale, colourful imagery of jewels and royalty are projected across the interior walls of Ely Cathedral.
Tickets are bookable in 15minute intervals and visitors are advised to book in advance online www.elycathedral.org
CROWN AND CORONATION will run from 06th – 10th February 2024 between 6.15pm – 8.45pm.
It is anticipated the experience will take approximately 1 hour.
