Light District: SPACE – God, The Universe And Everything

Thursday 14 to Friday 15 March

SPACE: God, the Universe and Everything is inspired by the 1969 Moon landings. Created by the award-winning Luxmuralis artistic collaboration, it will take people on a walking journey through St Bees Priory, revealing the universe, galaxies, space, creation, and light through a variety of sound and light installations that will transform the Priory.

In addition to the sound and light installations, Cumberland Council will deploy architectural lighting to highlight the Priory and its setting, making it a real beacon for the town.

There will be time slots between 6.30pm and 9pm each evening.

Tickets are £4 (under 5s free), available from the Carlisle Tourist Information Centre (01228 598596), The Beacon Museum in Whitehaven, St Bees Post Office and online at www.skiddle.com.

Parking in St Bees is limited. St Bees Beachfront car park will be open for the event. This is a 10 – 15-minute walk from the venue. Limited parking is available at St Bees School. Please do not park on street anywhere in or around the village. Don’t worry if you are late for your ticket time, we will add you on to the next show.

We recommend arriving by train. The venue is adjacent to St Bees Railway Station with a regular service www.nationalrail.co.uk

 The Light District is a new Cumberland Council programme of events.

The council’s Discover Carlisle team, supported by funding from the UK Government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund, is working in partnership with Luxmuralis to showcase SPACE – God, The Universe And Everything.

The event is also organised with the support of St Bees Parish Council, St Bees School and Sellafield Ltd.

The Light District builds on the success of Carlisle City of Lights and Workington Hall Lights which have both been hugely popular over recent years.

Luxmuralis is an artistic collaboration between artist and sculptor Peter Walker and composer David Harper. Together through fine art, sound and light they transform and reinterpret the sense of place in unique spaces both in the UK and abroad; creatively helping an audience to take a physical and emotional journey to identify with subjects and message of the artworks created through the Son-et-Lumiere and sculptural installations. Luxmuralis’ spectacular sound and light shows have been seen in a wide variety of places taking art onto the streets and to unique places.
