We’re looking back at The Light District: SPACE – God, The Universe And Everything, which took place at St Bees Priory recently, with this wonderful video produced by Herd's Media.
Inspired by the 1969 Moon landings, the son et lumiere was created by the award-winning Luxmuralis artistic collaboration.

Crown and Coronation created by Luxmuralis
The Light District: Crown and Coronation will take place from Thursday 15 to Saturday 17 February.
Carlisle is set to host a spectacular sound and light show, bringing the splendour of the Crown Jewels - 300 miles from their home at the Tower of London - to some of the most iconic buildings in the city.
Brought to Carlisle, with the support of Cumberland Council’s Discover Carlisle team, ‘Crown and Coronation’, produced by Historic Royal Palaces and Luxmuralis, will explore the history of coronations in an immersive visual show and emotive soundscape which it is planning to project on some of the country’s most famous landmarks and locations - including Carlisle Cathedral and Carlisle Castle.
Running across three nights, the immersive sound and light installation will take place inside Carlisle Cathedral, outside of The Fratry (in the Cathedral grounds), Tullie and within the grounds of Carlisle Castle, projected on majestic buildings some of which have stood for nearly 1,000 years.
The show will feature stunning imagery spanning across the centuries. Visitors will journey through more than 1,000 years of history, encompassing the reigns of some of the most famous English monarchs including William the Conqueror, Elizabeth I, and Queen Victoria.
Visitors will also have the chance to marvel at detailed footage of the Crown Jewels, the objects at the very heart of the coronation ceremony, projected onto Carlisle’s historic buildings.
The Light District builds on the success of Carlisle City of Lights and Workington Hall Lights which have both been hugely popular over recent years.
