This autumn, Gloucester Cathedral will once again be transformed by the lights and sounds of the projection art gallery of Luxmuralis.

The exhibit, entitled Poppy Fields will run from Friday 17 October to Saturday 25 October.

This immersive installation marks the much-anticipated return of Luxmuralis to the Cathedral, following the sell-out success of Light Eternal in 2023 and reflects on the sacrifices of the First and Second World Wars, offering a message of peace and hope for the future.

As we commemorate the 80th anniversary of VE and VJ Day and approach the season of Remembrance, this moving experience invites you to pause, reflect and remember.

Brought to life through moving imagery, as well as snippets of recorded poetry read by Oscar-winning actor Eddie Redmayne, Poppy Fields offers a moment of stillness in one of Britain’s most beautiful sacred spaces.

Each evening, visitors will have the opportunity to make a donation for a poppy in support of the upcoming Remembrance season. The Royal British Legion’s commitment to Remembrance resonates with the themes explored in the show.
