Chichester Cathedral, Cathedral Cloisters, P019 1PX
Saturday 31st October 2026
Chichester’s Annual Light Experience returns this autumn, transforming the Cathedral into a new breathtaking canvas of light, sound and digital art. 
Running from 23 - 31 October 2026, this year's Light Experience presents Illuminating Art, the spectacular immersive installation by internationally acclaimed artistic collaboration Luxmuralis – artist Peter Walker and composer David Harper.

 
Making its Sussex debut, Illuminating Art will take visitors of all ages on a mesmerising journey through four centuries of artistic imagination.
Using monumental projections, immersive soundscapes and an original score by composer David Harper, the Cathedral’s ancient architecture is reimagined in extraordinary new ways.

From the drama of the Baroque and the vibrant colour of the Impressionists to early photography, the age of steam and the dawn of animation, Illuminating Art brings familiar creative movements to life through bold contemporary projections - creating an unforgettable experience whether you’re an art lover or simply looking for a magical evening out. The experience unfolds through a series of atmospheric immersive scenes, building towards a striking finale in the nave.
