Carlisle Cathedral transformed by space lights show

Carlisle Cathedral has been transformed by a light and sound show.

The installation, The Great Exhibition – SPACE: God, the Universe and Everything, is inspired by the 1969 moon landing.

Created by Luxmuralis, art projections and sound take people on a walking journey through the stars, galaxies and beyond inside the cathedral.

Part of the City of Lights project in Carlisle, it runs until Saturday 15 February.
