Magical Christmas light show coming to Liverpool Cathedral

A magical indoor light show inspired by the first Christmas will be coming to Liverpool Cathedral.

'The Light Before Christmas: The Angels are Coming' will illuminate the interior of the cathedral, as angels guide you through a magical display of twinkling lights, mesmerising projections and beautiful music. The cathedral's gothic architecture will become a backdrop for a spectacular light and sound show offering a modern, immersive take on the traditional nativity story.

The show will be brought to Liverpool Cathedral by Luxmuralis, the artistic collaboration behind February's sell-out installation, 'Space, The Universe and Everything.' The experience forms the first of The Light Before Christmas series and is part of a two-year programme of events, exhibitions and artwork leading up to Liverpool Cathedral's 100th anniversary in 2024.

The event will run from December 2 until December 9. Tickets must be booked in advance, either online via Ticket Quarter or by calling 0344 8000 410.

Sessions start from 4.30pm and last around 40 minutes. Tickets cost £8.80 for adults and £6.60 for children aged from three to 16. Entry for children under three is free when accompanied by an adult, but booking is required. Family tickets (two adults and three children) are priced at £27.50.

The Dean of Liverpool, The Very Revd Dr Sue Jones, said: "The artists behind Luxmuralis are renowned for creating the most spectacular immersive experiences, you may remember 'Space, The Universe and Everything', which was incredibly well received by visitors to Liverpool Cathedral.

"The Light Before Christmas: The Angels are Coming looks set to be just as popular as we invite people to lose themselves in the wonderful story of Christmas and the nativity. The stunning festive light and sound installation forms a key part of the Christmas celebrations at Liverpool Cathedral, providing a perfect opportunity for different generations to join together for refelection."
