Luxmuralis: In The Beginning

It was another fabulous display from the team, great soundtrack playing alongside fabulous lights and designs and pictures

Lovely light display in a beautiful setting we thoroughly enjoyed it

Amazing experience

We first went last year. We looked out for the event again this year. We’d go again next year.

We loved it. Great attention to detail. Didn't feel rushed. Brilliant images. This will be a regular Christmas event for us annually. Thank you Bristol Cathedral and the creators of this. See you next year.

I preferred the louder session. It was not that loud and much more atmosphere

Stunning visuals paired with great music. Star strucked at the final segment of the show. Didn't think there would be a storyline but that made it much more thoughtful. Love that we were able to spend as much time as we want and even reenter. Definitely got my moneys worth.

Fantatsic evening, with such lovely hosts.

It looked like a lot of thought had gone into the design and placing of the light show and the sound which didn't overlap significantly from one vantage point to the other.

Very enjoyable for both myself and my little one. Would highly recommend.

Excellent

Inspiring

I love that kind of experience, seen 3 years in the row. Each time absolutely lovely. Just amazing!

I really enjoyed the light show and music, it was nice to be able to buy a drink and sit and enjoy the final piece for as long as I wanted.

It was a magical, immersive experience and the staff were very helpful and friendly. I'd visit again. Thanks very much

Very good experience although not as cohesive as similar event in Bath Abbey. Would still recommend & likely to attend similar events in future

Amazing, interesting science& engineering .Well done!

.

Such an unusual and unique Christmas event

Very enjoyable

Really lovely experience. Will look out for more similar shows.

Stunning immersive experience, perfect start to the Christmas season

Great show and really enjoyed it.

Could be a little bit longer in time but great effects and good value

Great attraction

Incredible experience 😁

Excellent all round, good light displays, different to last year, drinks area for all and friendly staff to help

Itvwas a great show, you could spend as long as you wanted, no rush to leave

Lovely seeing the Cathedral bustling with people enjoying a wonderful light show.

Good experience

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the experience

Wonderful location and beautiful

Thoroughly enjoyable experience in a great venue. It was nice to have a Christmas element and some Christmas music this year. Spectacular.

We loved the experience . Difficult to pull out the nativity theme but that didn’t detract. Great that you weren’t herded through and could go at your own pace

Lovely and enjoyable light and sound experience.

Just simply amazing. The music set as a background to the wonderful scenes certainly created a fabulous atmosphere. The volunteers were very friendly. I will certainly look out for this event again in 2025.

Maybe some instructions at the beginning to say that each "area" had the light show on a loop so that you stay there for the whole duration, which we didn't to start with.

Excellent evening! Thank you

Wonderful location and very enjoyable light display however it would have been useful to have had some sort of theme or something to give an idea of what we were looking at. So maybe something to read atvthe start of each section ?

Some of the scenes were faint to the eye but looked much better through a camera.

A lovely experience to share with the family.

Thought the music accompaniment could have been more Christmas Carols

Very Christmasy

The spectacular really lived up to its name. Loved it.

Absolutely stunning experience. Love every minute of it.

Enjoyed it but wasnt sure whether to wait for each section to change. A sign showing the time on each section would have been good.

2nd year of attending, this year I took my grandaughter who loved it as much as me .
Would go again xx

Very beautiful light show

Had a lovely evening at the event

Not enough of the story to much whizzing shapes and kaleidoscope - colourful and good music

Great experience!

Awesome event and Yuup customer service was brilliant!

A wonderful festive experience so glad I got tickets already looking forward to next year

My son and I were looking forward to this after being blown away by last year's light show by Luxmuralis at the Cathedral. Sadly, this year's show didn't quite live up to our expectations. It did however bring us into the centre where we could explore other things afterwards so all was not lost!

Disappointing compared to previous years. Not much to it.

Loved the windy trail around the cathedral and the lights were very impressive. Only thing to say would be it was a bit too short for the price but otherwise it was great!

Great experience

Not as great as last year. The music wasn't dramatic and loud enough

Such a wonderful experience, beautiful setting, amazing projections and sound. Really friendly staff.

Impressive, but nowhere near as good as last year's. And it was difficult to understand how a 'reimagining of the Nativity story' came to include Father Christmas, reindeer and barley sugar canes – which didn't really work too well with the backdrop of a medaeval cathedral. Though at least there weren't any penguins!

We had a great time. I may book again to come later int evening when it’s louder. But a perfect visit with my ten year old

Really shows the cathedral architecture in a brilliant way

I’ve been for the last two years and felt this one was disappointing in comparison

xx

Loved the immersive nature of it. Not too crowded as staggered time slots which appreciated.
Nice to have a glass of wine while watched

Superb

Outstanding event, very cleverly done in a magnificent location.

A really enjoyable experience

An imaginative way to encourage more people into the Cathedral and possibly the message of Christianity

Brilliant! Thank you for the wonderful experience.

exciting atmosphere

We took our 7.5 month old baby who loved it! It was great that there was the option of lower volume at certain times. We would certainly come back next year as I think kids of all ages would appreciate this. Finally, is someone able to tell me where the doughnuts were sourced from please as they were the best we have ever tasted! 😋

Very pleasant & relaxing experience. Only 4+ stars rather than 5 as it seems to me a missed opportunity not to customise the light show to the space, it just projects moving images onto the arcitecture without even referencing where there are windows and where walls. But it's good enough that having visited last year I came back again this year in the full knowledge of what to expect. I can recommend the mulled wine.

Fantasatic to see the lovely arches and pillars of the aisles illuminated with an ever-changing kaleidoscope of colour. The first part was very much aimed at young children with Santa, reindeer and candy canes amongst the motives whereas later "stops" , particularly the last used patterns of the stained glass and biblical scenes amongst the more abstract patterns. It was accompanied by appropriate but not intrusive music and although there were plenty of people viewing it wasn't too crowded.

The visuals were lovely, though I would have preferred not to be led around the Cathedral by the way it was set up. Would prefer to be able to wander in wonder :)
Also my group all agreed that the music could be more subtle in it's intention to create awe and wonder. It was rather driven and simplistic. There's so much incredible classical music to choose from, I'd say ease back a bit. Other than that it was beautiful :)

Amazing magic in the wonderful place.

Loved the experience and the venue was adapted well for my husband to use his mobility scooter. Although I was aware of the suggested time allocated to the experience I didn't spend enough time at the beginning to see the whole sequence of images in each part of the cathedral and would probably have spent more time going through if it had been explained somewhere.

A very spiritual experience wonderfully done.

Underwhelming and lazily done

Very relaxing. Nice to chill out with a friend

I enjoyed last year's event more. This was still enjoyable

Overall I thought it was very good. The lighting was clever and I enjoyed the experience. I think it would have been better if more seating had been provided.

Absolutely brilliant, the cathedral looked amazing.

It was a super thing to do with a friend after being out all day - so easy to book, no queue, staff to direct us, lovely to see - thank you - we will be back :-)

Projections seemed more basic compared to previous years and lacked any story unlike previous years.

Was done beautifully. And the staff was helpful seeing the crowd through. Magical.

Would have liked a printed information sheet with background and explanation

Amazing

Absolutely beautiful.

Wonderful, creative and accessible to all.

Thoroughly enjoyed it! Mesmerising!

Good experience but quite short for the cost

Absolutely amazing experience! So very relaxing, stunning & ethereal. Would recommend to all. Can’t wait to go again next year!

Didn’t know what to expect but was really happy that I booked

Beautiful display, enhanced by the background music

We visited the Luxmuralis lightshow at Bristol Cathedral last year and really enjoyed it, so visited again this year and weren't disappointed. Very clever and colourful. Nice to see the Cathedral being used for these types of events - hope the week goes well.

Really enjoyed ... great location ... lovely way to spend 30 mins or so

Amazing light show

So magical in an exquisite setting. I could have stayed all night- totally mesmerised

Light show was amazing definitely recommend

It was lovely, but would have liked longer and possibly some narration

Fabulous experience the third Luxmuralis show I have been to. Stayed nearly two hours!!

Very meaningful and put us in the Xmas mood

Enchanting.

Music was plenty loud enough before 6pm, not sure why it needed to be turned up. We enjoyed it, but probably thought it should have been say £7 or £8 so a little pricey.

Colorful and bright in a great historic setting, the cathedral

Amazing display just beautiful.🥰

Although really enjoyed would have liked it too last longer.

A wonderful experience in a lovely place.

A beautiful light display showing the real meaning of Christmas

Great experience and we'll be back next year.

It was an excellent experience.

Lovely to see the cathedral lit up telling the story, in some places watching through the phone made it better as the images where so bright and large the phone just sharpened it all and made the experience nicer for me also I felt it needed more seats going round for older people to sit and watch or when there is a queue waiting for the next stage as a a few people I know who would like to visit couldn’t manage without seats.

Excellent

I saw this during the quiet hour and really appreciated the music played at a lower volume, especially as there were babies and young children in attendance.
Comparing this event with 3 other Lux Muralis events I have seen I was disappointed that the event was shorter.
I thought that the event worked well in spite of the organ work involving scaffolding and health and safety issues were appropriately addressed.
Lovely friendly helpful stewards were on duty

Wonderful and very helpful staff. Thank you

Amazing! Enjoyed every minute of it

Realy different

We really enjoyed the experience but felt it was quite expensive. If you gave visitors a mince pie or a mulled wine it would have felt like much better value

Amazing night loved my time at the cathedral such a beautiful venue

Good!

Very imaginative use of the Cathedral interior that achieved a spectacular result. My grandson was spell bound.

That lightshow look really amazing, we’re very love it and my daughter very concentrate for watching thank you so much

Fantastic just as good as last years

Our Grandson, aged 8, absolutely loved the experience. He was thrilled when Santa marched across the end of the Lady Chapel and did not want to leave when it was time to get home for bed

A beautiful dramatic and reflective use of a beautiful space.

The cathedral is a superb backdrop of angles, shadows and shapes that lends itself as a beautiful canvas to be enhanced by the projections and lighting. The imagery and colour scales were really appealing visually, matched with the soundtrack to enhance the experience. I would happily rec omens this experience to anyone.

Brilliant

Excellent visual experience! Lovely way to start the Christmas festivities

This was an absolute beautiful night so well put together would 100% go again! And definitely recommend to others.

Good

Absolutely loved the experience. I went with 5 other friends and relatives including my husband, who was using a mobility scooter. The use of ranps to link different areas of the cathedral was perfect for him. Although I was aware of the suggested time for the visit I didn't work out the time it took to run the sequence of images in each area to begin with and might have stayed longer if I'd known. But overall it was an amazing experience.

Maybe good to have a live choir

This was my 2nd experience of Luxmuralis at Bristol Cathedral two years running, personally I thought last year's event was better, but this year's Christmas event was very good and I took a
friend who thought it was excellent.
I will return in the future as it's a magical event within the Cathedral.

Wonderful family trip. Thanks!

Really enjoyed exploring the cathedral this evening whilst surrounded by the stunning light shows and colours. Definitely recommend!

Magical!

Amazing

Really great experience, beautiful light patterns against the cathedral architecture.

Would be great to have a guide or something describing the different creations if possible!

Luxmuralis was really special. If never been in Bristol Cathedral before and the location and light projections worked beautifully together to create a really atmospheric experience. Thank you 😊

I absolutely love seeing the Cathedral with the art installations, it makes my hair stand on it end!!!

What a brilliant evening. Stunning location and a wonderful show. Would highly recommend to anyone with kids who are old enough to appreciate a light and sound show.
I will definitely go back when they do this sort of thing again.

Amazing experience in a Beautiful Holy setting that was very well organised

OMG, was this uplifting! "Awesome" is an over-used word these days, but this installation was truly awesome. The combination of the projections, the soundtrack and the beautiful setting of Bristol Cathedral were spectacular. Well done to all involved!

The light show was incredible! The location of the Cathedral was very atmospheric which made the experience even better. As we walked around, a lady kindly pulled a rope back and offered us a seat for 10 mins which was so kind and needed! Made for a different but great evening activity!

It was an excellent job. of organization and surprising lights. The cathedral shined even more. because she is very pretty. Fantastic night and the best thing I enjoyed with my children.

Brilliant display. Excellent location. Beautiful show. Very engaging

The Cathedral setting made the light show a magical experience for young and old alike .

I loved this. I got to share my local Cathedral Church with close friends who have never spent any time there. To combine with lights, music, art and and a hot drink with espensen spirit just made the evening. Thank you for hosting 🙏🏼

Really enjoyed it, would definitely recommend. Would definitely book another one and try a different theme.

Really enjoyable experience - peaceful and immersive. Will come back for the next light show :)

Absolutely stunning, so pleased we went ☺️

Music matched the images and grandeur of Bristol cathedral perfectly. It beat my expectations

It was incredible and I loved the whole atmosphere. I hope I will be able to see it again in the future!

Very well organised; amazing light show with really rich colours; the addition of a bar was a great touch and loved the selection of mulled drinks; good to be supporting the Cathedral.

A super immersive experience for our whole family aging from 12-81years old.
I have recommended it to everyone I know. Well worth the money.

Amazing. Exceeded expectations. Thank you.

Showed off the cathedral architecture to its best, the music was uplifting and went with the display. Would go again.

Thoroughly enjoyed. Unique experience

Immersive, an extraordinary experience in an extraordinary setting.

It was awesome, well organised and the best location which gave it the vibe. Would definitely recommend.

Luxmuralis at Bristol Cathedral yesterday evening was mesmerising. Its powerful ever-changing imagery, was captivating, and with a great soundtrack and a creative and immersive experience it
left everybody enthralled.

No video or photo can captivate the total experience so it is well worth a visit and with numbers limited every hour there was plenty of space to enjoy and appreciate it

We rebooked for a quieter performance - we had booked a carer ticket to support our disabled, visually impaired child. We were able to find a quiet space where he danced and interacted with the changing lights - it was amazing for him and our other children were also able to enjoy the various installations. As a family, there is little 'mainstream' that we can enjoy together. Thank you so much for letting us know about the quieter showing, the louder would've been too much for him.

Creative use of an amazing historic space

I had heard from friends that it as good, but it was even better than expected. Loved it!

Absolutely mind blowing. Beautiful, emotional xx

It was like being inside a 3D version of a medieval tapestry!

Had a really enjoyable visit . Everything was well organised and the show was very creative. You get immersed in the music . Would recommend.

Amazing lightshow and superbly matched with the music. Spectacular. Not too busy and the bar with mulled apple juice was perfect on a miserable evening.

Just a very different way of seeing the Cathedral and its stunning architecture. The number of families with small children and babies was wonderful with every age group enjoying the spectacle in its own way. Our weekend visitors were particularly impressed by the accessibility as we are all in our late eighties and need walking sticks!! Bravo to all concerned.

Really enjoyed the whole experience - it was magical. The cathedral is such an amazing building and was the perfect backdrop for the light show.

Incredible images, evocative music in a beautiful old building. I hope Lux Muraliis comes back again soon to Bristol

A brilliant and vibrant show that inspires. A lot of positive and romantic impressions. Thanks to the organizers

I thought it was a great reimagination of the space and loved the way the light show and building worked together - stunning!

Love it every time I go!

Magical! Gorgeous!

Magical and atmospheric. A wonderful experience.

Wonderful, evocative exhibition. Very well organised too, lovely helpful staff.

Fantastic experience. Have recommended to all of my family & friends. Excellent value. Wonderful venue

Great light show. Really enjoyed it-powerful and creative imagery combined with good sound.

Very good experience, recommended 🌟

Wea were amazed at the fabulous images created, and the accompanying music was perfect.

Very relaxing and all of the above

It was such a beautiful and immersive experience. Would definitely go again!

Loved it. Thank you.

Incredible experience.

Experiencing the Luxmuralis Light Show in Bristol Cathedral was amazing… a brilliant location. Seeing the colours and patterns displayed across the beautiful architecture was amazing. We enjoyed it so much.

Amazing experience

It was like a kaleidoscope effect. Very effective in the Cathedral. Enjoyed it.

A fabulous show in a fabulous Cathedral. I'm so glad we went as it was an amazing experience.

Beautiful art in a lovely venue. Really captivating.

Absolutely loved it. Could have sat there for hours. Very relaxing and inspiring.

Loved it, creative, magical and perfect building!

Fantastic event would certainly recommend this to anyone

Mesmerising experience, loved it.

Wonderful experience

Really special evening. An experience not to be missed and I am so glad I went and took my 2 sons with me who also enjoyed it

I was blown away by it, and have recommended it to other people.

The most amazing experience, joyful, magical, so relaxing and the music was superb. It leaves you with a smile on your face. Thoroughly recommended.

Brilliant experience for young and not so young.

Very unique, great to experience and something you have to be there to appreciate the magnitude of the sound and sensation of the lighting.

It was mesmerising and we stayed for some time and watched the main show several times. Very memorable and worth the trip back to Bristol

An excellent imaginative experience.

Beautiful experience very relaxing

Wonderful experience

Exciting and spellbinding

What a wonderful sensory experience in a beautiful setting. Highly recommended

The show was absolutely stunning and we enjoyed it very much.

We had a great time at the cathedral. Wonderful and awe inspiring displays. We were very grateful to find some chairs set out in the nave as well as the ground area for seating as it made it easy to watch for older people.

Really enjoyed this experience. It was immersive and very well done.

I found it calming and at the same time exhilarating.

Most enjoyable, great experience. Loved most of them, but some stood out more for personally.

Loved everything about it. Will definitely attend another experience like this.

Loved it! Very well organised with plenty of staff and extremely useful to have loos and car park nearby. Easy one way system through the Cathedral. Thanks to all concerned.

My 9 year old and I loved it! Such a beautiful experience

A great calming and creative event, thank you

This was value for money . We were able to enjoy the immersive, all encompassing experience at our leisure. Beautiful images in a spectacular setting.

Loved the lights and ambience.

It was amazing , so beautiful and fabulous music. Wish I could watch it every night!!! A great family event too

Well organised and a pleasure to see

Takes your breath away visually but it would be nothing without the sound. All the Cathedral staff were so patient, helpful and friendly which made the whole experience so amazing

wonderful evening ; amazing music to accompany the most splendid light show

Very creative and innovative

You have to see this to understand the brilliance of this experience. Very enjoyable, highly recommend

Amazing, spell-binding

Would highly recommend, very enjoyable and certainly worth the money.

The combination of lights and music in such a beautiful venue made it a very special experience

My friend and I were amazed, it was nothing like we’d seen before. The moving images were mixed and certainly brought aspects of the natural world to the visitors. Congratulations.

I saw this show as I enjoyed last year’s show. It is unique. I especially appreciated attending during the quiet hour. Loud music is oppressive and can be disturbing, detracting from the enjoyment. This hour is better for people with special needs

Great experience

Absolutely wonderful.

amazing show set in the Cathedral

We both really enjoyed the immersive light show and the cathedral was a perfect venue for it, highly recommended

Enjoyed by all

It was a very enjoyable experience. We took our Granddaughter, who is 19 months old, she loved the lights. Many thanks

Looking forward to the next one. My daughters loved their surprise.

Totally immersive and very moving.

Great show, helpful friendly staff

Fabulous!! Thoroughly enjoyed the evening! Something a bit different for a winter evening!

Very interesting and joyful, thank
to the team who manage and make everything possible for the visitors.

Just beautiful. A wonderful experience.

It truly was immersive! Well organised, welcoming staff and a magical experience. Thank you

A lovely experience from beginning to end

Great. You should go

Excellent! Well organised and friendly and helpful staff. Would recommend a visit

I feel privileged to have seen this Force of Nature Light show at Bristol Cathedral. It was stunning.

I loved it! It was beautiful and the music was great. The cathedral staff were all very nice and the event wasn’t over crowded.

This was an amazing experience, so hard to describe, so glad I went. Just wonderful. Thanks to all who created and staged this show. Hope there will be others in due course.

Very enjoyable experience. Really creative and impressive. The stewards were all very helpful and friendly too and made the experience a pleasant one.

Loved it

Very immersive, most enjoyable.

Fabulous immersive experience

Amazing experience

It was different interesting and fun. It was well put together and duty staff were lovely. The music was fun and engaging and did not blast one’s ears off. It was magical and took us out of ourselves. More please!

The colourful images and the music and the beautiful architecture of the cathedral made it a truly mesmerizing experience!

That was creative

Interesting experience

Music too loud but lights good fun!

Wow, wow, wow! What an amazing event. Brilliant evening. Staff very welcoming and helpful. Can seriously recommend this to all the family

Just amazing.
Very atmospheric!

Wow

lovely

It was something really different and very enjoyable

The cathedral was magnificent setting, and the light show was on a loop so you could wander through at your own pace. We thoroughly enjoyed the imagery (many of which were like a giant kaleidescope) but the music was rather loud. It would have been helpful if there had been more staff to direct people in the final section as many were standing at the back and probably unaware they could be sitting comfortably on the floor or chairs. However all in all a beautiful and immersive experience.

Cool light display projected throughout the impressive interior of Bristol Cathedral. Enjoyed it, and fun to do something different. Hadn’t been in the cathedral before, and it’s a gorgeous way to explore the interior and appreciate its architecture.

Really uplifting experience.. Beautiful surroundings and creativity.. A unique evening to enjoy.
Thank you.

So lovely to see Bristol Cathedral creatively lit and accessing areas not normally permitted

Second year we have been, even better.

Thought it was absolutely mesmerising. Was really impressed by the display and how it progressed as you moved around the cathedral. I was perhaps slightly confused by narrative that was being told. I wasn’t quite sure where Jesus fitted in, (particularly a blond Jesus…) nor the Chinese displays, not that those displays weren’t still very lovely to watch. The volcanoes, the rain and water, the universe, and wildlife, I was totally encapsulated, and timely considering that our planet is dying.

We really enjoyed the show.usoc was very powerful and images were amazing. It suited the venue very well.

It was absolutely amazing. Would definitely recommend people of all ages.

Very enjoyable but there were a few bottle necks where stewards might have been more assertive in keeping areas of flow a little easier especially for people like me with limited mobility.

Lovely, a real treat. Would recommend to anyone

We really enjoyed the show, the Cathedral is a lovely setting, and the sound and light around the building was wonderful, even if we didn't always realise what the symbolism meant.

Read what we posted on the Nailsea People website (and an abridged link version is on our Facebook page(s)) here https://www.nailseapeople.com/church-peeps with a slideshow of images. The Luxmuralis: Force of Nature Light Show review is shown with a slideshow and ticket link, thanks.

Amazing light show in an amazing building!

Really beautiful. I wore ear plugs as suggested because it was quite loud but that didn't diminish my enjoyment. Smooth moving through the Cathedral. Staff at every place ready to guide & assist. We arrived earlier than our booking but were shown in as the display is on a loop, so you can link as long as you wish. Great experience.

A brilliant light show and also helps the Cathedral raise money - excellent

Awesome!

Loved it. So unusual, creative and memorable.

A wonderful and strangely moving experience, particularly the last phase. An old cynic was impressed!

Lovely experience with lights show in the majestic Bristol Cathedral.

Expertly put together. Very entertaining

Beautiful and moving. Very imaginative concept and execution.

A wonderful creative experience in an ancient spiritual building. Well done everyone

Absolutely jaw dropping . The venue was perfect for the great sound and performance

Fab light show

Brilliant from start to finish and probably one of the best light shows I have been to, especially when you factor in the value for money tickets.

Really good. Very atmospheric. Great to have a bar too.

It was truly beautiful

Mesmerising, thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience

Well set up, good staff, brilliant experience.

Just BREATHTAKING!!! A must see!!

It was fabulous.

Fantastic. The cathedral setting was amazing. It looked so beautiful.

Ethereal music in a beautiful building with beautiful lights - great Autumn activity!

Queues moved quickly. Helpful stewards throughout. Plenty of space to linger at each light show presentation. Can stay immersed or journey through at your pace.

The combination of beautiful visuals and music made it wonderful and uplifting experience. Thank you.

We had a wonderful time and my 4 month old was amazed!

Great for all ages, my daughter aged 9 and my mother aged 79 equally loved it!
