Walk through the History of Science in the stunning interior of Winchester Cathedral. Almost every inch of the Cathedral is bathed in light and full of beautiful original compositions.
The display will see the almost 1000-year-old building become the canvas for an exploration of the way in which scientists have shaped the past and will influence the future. This unforgettable multi-sensory experience transports visitors through elements, molecules, DNA, and the greatest discoveries of humanity, as we contemplate the wonders that make up the world around us.
The installation is the creation of the award-winning collaboration of artists known as Luxmuralis, a collaborative team of artists from different backgrounds and artistic disciplines who create works across multiple media and presentation formats. Core to their work is the opportunity to explore the development of fine art tradition through new media, placing the medium in an art historical context.
The primary purpose of Luxmuralis is to take art onto the streets and provide access to visual artwork in public as well as unexpected places.
A spellbindingly beautiful ghost story about time, love and hope from the creator of Peter Pan. Directed by Nick Young
An old Sussex manor house for sale is haunted by the ghost of a young woman who once lived there.
37 years earlier a young girl, Mary Rose, went missing on an island in the Outer Hebrides. After a month, she mysteriously returned unaware that she had been away.
As a young married woman, she revisits the island with her husband and disappears again. After 23 years, she reappears, but by now her parents, husband and son have all aged, whilst Mary Rose has remained the same.
In this hauntingly beautiful and witty play, from the creator of Peter Pan, comes an exploration of time, love, loss and hope.
Drop into Gilbert White’s 16th-century barn, and discover the best gins their locality has to offer. This event is a free event for visitors to browse whilst learning about gin, sampling gin and having fun.
