About the experience

In an experience lasting about 45 minutes, visitors will enter the cathedral in darkness through the North Door, before journeying around the cathedral, encountering vibrant projections in different areas of the building, accompanied by an immersive soundscape.


Your Time starts in the North Nave Aisle, through the Quire, offering a moment to look at projections on the High Altar, before journeying through to the Central Nave.


The experience then includes an awe-inspiring projection in the Nave, the central aisle of the cathedral. The space will be clear of pews, and visitors can use the seating at the sides to take time to pause and reflect, as the cathedral’s soaring columns are transformed by light.


Make every moment count as you head through to the Cloisters and see the Chapter House illuminated before exiting through the Galilee Chapel, with the opportunity to light a candle before Time runs out.
