See Durham Cathedral in a new light as artists prepare to flood interior with colour and sound

Swirls of dazzling colour and atmospheric music will bring new life and light to Durham Cathedral this autumn in a show said to be unlike anything hosted there before.

The interior of the city landmark, which opened in 1133, is set to be seen in literally a new light when artists Luxmuralis arrive to work their wonders in October. For the first time they will be bringing their 'son et lumiere' - sound and light - show Life to the North East and it promises to flood the venue with light and sound.

Projections have previously shown off the cathedral to spectacular effect during the popular Durham Lumiere festival with Ross Ashton's memorable Crown of Light illuminating its exterior with moving images. This time it's the interior of the ancient building which will be the focus of attention by a team of artists called Luxmuralis.
