Royal themed art display shows cathedral in new light
The now King became patron of the cathedral's Development Appeal when he visited in 2021 as Prince of Wales
Last updated 10th Jan 2024
A new sound and light display called 'Crown and Coronation' has opened at Exeter Cathedral celebrating 1,000 years of Royal history.
It's been created by the charity Historic Royal Palaces, and was first shown at the Tower of London in November.
It will be on show until Saturday when it continues its UK tour and will 'project imagery spanning several centuries onto the interior walls and ceilings of the cathedral', accompanied by curated soundscapes from composer David Harper.
The Very Reverend Jonathan Greener, Dean of Exeter, said: "Crown and Coronation is an exciting opportunity to draw new visitors into the cathedral.
"We are always delighted to host Luxmuralis shows and this one is particularly special given Exeter Cathedral’s numerous associations with the British Monarchy.
"We were honoured in 2020 when King Charles, as the then Prince of Wales, became patron of our Development Appeal.
"We hope that visitors will be as excited and impressed with this spectacular sound and light show as we are.”
