Join Bristol Cathedral for a dazzling journey of light and sound as the Cathedral architecture turns into a virtual canvas this Christmas.
The award winning artistic collaboration known as Luxmuralis are back, set to transform the interior of Bristol Cathedral with stunning sound and light artwork.
Begin this year's Christmas celebrations by coming along on an uplifting journey through an illuminated interpretation of the Nativity Story. It promises to be a stunning experience for all the whole family, the perfect start to the advent season.
Back in 2023 Luxmuralis brought you ‘Force of Nature’ light spectacular and before that ‘Space Voyager’ which saw thousands enjoy the immersive fine art experience.

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 😊
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.
I absolutely love seeing the Cathedral with the art installations, it makes my hair stand on it end!!!
Amazing experience in a Beautiful Holy setting that was very well organised
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 🙏🏼
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 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!
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!
Really enjoyed it, would definitely recommend. Would definitely book another one and try a different theme.
The Cathedral setting made the light show a magical experience for young and old alike .
Really enjoyable experience - peaceful and immersive. Will come back for the next light show :)
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.
Absolutely stunning, so pleased we went ☺️
Music matched the images and grandeur of Bristol cathedral perfectly. It beat my expectations
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.
It was incredible and I loved the whole atmosphere. I hope I will be able to see it again in the future!
Absolutely mind blowing. Beautiful, emotional xx
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.
Thoroughly enjoyed. Unique experience
Showed off the cathedral architecture to its best, the music was uplifting and went with the display. Would go again.
Creative use of an amazing historic space
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.
Amazing. Exceeded expectations. Thank you.
I had heard from friends that it as good, but it was even better than expected. Loved it!
Really enjoyed the whole experience - it was magical. The cathedral is such an amazing building and was the perfect backdrop for the light show.
I thought it was a great reimagination of the space and loved the way the light show and building worked together - stunning!
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.
Had a really enjoyable visit . Everything was well organised and the show was very creative. You get immersed in the music . Would recommend.
A brilliant and vibrant show that inspires. A lot of positive and romantic impressions. Thanks to the organizers
It was like being inside a 3D version of a medieval tapestry!
Incredible images, evocative music in a beautiful old building. I hope Lux Muraliis comes back again soon to Bristol
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.
Fantastic experience. Have recommended to all of my family & friends. Excellent value. Wonderful venue
Very good experience, recommended 🌟
Wea were amazed at the fabulous images created, and the accompanying music was perfect.
Magical! Gorgeous!
Magical and atmospheric. A wonderful experience.
Very relaxing and all of the above
Love it every time I go!

Loved everything about it. Will definitely attend another experience like this.
Really enjoyed this experience. It was immersive and very well done.
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
Incredible experience.
Very unique, great to experience and something you have to be there to appreciate the magnitude of the sound and sensation of the lighting.
Wonderful experience
Exciting and spellbinding
I found it calming and at the same time exhilarating.

Fantastic event would certainly recommend this to anyone

Loved the lights and ambience.
Loved it. Thank you.
Brilliant experience for young and not so young.
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.
Absolutely loved it. Could have sat there for hours. Very relaxing and inspiring.
Beautiful art in a lovely venue. Really captivating.
A fabulous show in a fabulous Cathedral. I'm so glad we went as it was an amazing experience.
It was like a kaleidoscope effect. Very effective in the Cathedral. Enjoyed it.
Amazing 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.
Well organised and a pleasure to see
This was value for money . We were able to enjoy the immersive, all encompassing experience at our leisure. Beautiful images in a spectacular setting.
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
It was amazing , so beautiful and fabulous music. Wish I could watch it every night!!! A great family event too
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.
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
That was creative
The colourful images and the music and the beautiful architecture of the cathedral made it a truly mesmerizing experience!
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
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!
Amazing experience
Fabulous immersive experience
Very immersive, most enjoyable.
Loved it
Very enjoyable experience. Really creative and impressive. The stewards were all very helpful and friendly too and made the experience a pleasant one.
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.
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.
I feel privileged to have seen this Force of Nature Light show at Bristol Cathedral. It was stunning.
Excellent! Well organised and friendly and helpful staff. Would recommend a visit
Great. You should go
A lovely experience from beginning to end
It truly was immersive! Well organised, welcoming staff and a magical experience. Thank you
Just beautiful. A wonderful experience.
Very interesting and joyful, thank
to the team who manage and make everything possible for the visitors.
Fabulous!! Thoroughly enjoyed the evening! Something a bit different for a winter evening!
Great show, helpful friendly staff
Totally immersive and very moving.
Looking forward to the next one. My daughters loved their surprise.
It was a very enjoyable experience. We took our Granddaughter, who is 19 months old, she loved the lights. Many thanks
Enjoyed by all
We both really enjoyed the immersive light show and the cathedral was a perfect venue for it, highly recommended
amazing show set in the Cathedral
Absolutely wonderful.
Great 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.
The combination of lights and music in such a beautiful venue made it a very special experience
Would highly recommend, very enjoyable and certainly worth the money.
Amazing, spell-binding
You have to see this to understand the brilliance of this experience. Very enjoyable, highly recommend
Very creative and innovative
wonderful evening ; amazing music to accompany the most splendid light show
Interesting experience
It was fabulous.
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.
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.
So lovely to see Bristol Cathedral creatively lit and accessing areas not normally permitted
Wow
Music too loud but lights good fun!
A wonderful and strangely moving experience, particularly the last phase. An old cynic was impressed!
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!
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.
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
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.
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!!
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.
We had a wonderful time and my 4 month old was amazed!
The combination of beautiful visuals and music made it wonderful and uplifting experience. Thank you.
Great for all ages, my daughter aged 9 and my mother aged 79 equally loved it!
