A stunning light show will be returning to Kent with a brand new theme this September.

The show, which is put together by renowned audio-visual company Luxmuralis, will bring art from the Renaissance era to life at Canterbury Cathedral.

The installation is part of the Canterbury Festival and will help launch the multi-arts event on Tuesday, September 26.

The five-day spectacular will highlight the cathedral’s architecture and immerse visitors in paintings and artwork from the Renaissance period using moving light displays and original compositions.

The projections have been created by sculptor Peter Walker, while the soundscapes come from composer David Harper.

The Luxmuralis show will be at the cathedral until Saturday, September 30. You can book a time slot here.

The Canterbury Festival then continues until Saturday, November 4 with a programme of live music, talks and family events.

Musicians including Ruby Turner, known for her performances alongside Jools Holland, and Dreams singer Gabrielle will be performing at this year’s festival, as well as groups such as the Canterbury Choral Society and the Beautiful Noise Orchestra.

For those visiting with children, there will be a range of family-friendly performances, including comedy, circus acts, magic tricks and puppet shows.

Comedians, including Rich Hall, Hal Cruttenden and Abi Collins, will also be visiting the festival throughout its run, as will some unique comedy shows such as the Eurovision Sock Contest and Murder She Didn’t Write.

There will also be guided walks of the city, talks about art, science and history, visual art displays and exhibitions.

Some of the events are free to attend, however some are ticketed separately.

You can find the full programme and ticket information on the Canterbury Festival website.
