Sheffield Cathedral Illuminated, our spectacular annual light show, is returning for its third year.
The light show has rapidly become one of the must-see Christmas traditions in Sheffield. This year’s show is called The Manger and runs from 29 November to 4 December.
The immersive experience is not to be missed and is the perfect way to celebrate the true meaning of Advent and Christmas. You will get to see a full son-et-lumiere on the facade of the Cathedral and then a second show inside the building. You’ll also be able to enjoy mulled wine and mince pies from our 1554 coffee shop, purchase Christmas gifts from the shop and light a candle for loved ones. Last year’s light show was enjoyed by nearly 10,000 people.
“A stunning light show at Sheffield Cathedral. Full of joy and wonder. It really put me in the festive spirit”
Ben Rossi, our Development Manager, says: “We’re delighted to be working with the team at Utilita Energy Hub. Their support allowed us to not only offer an ‘early bird’ discount ticket for a period of time, but it has also helped to keep ticket prices similar to last year. More than 3,000 tickets have been sold already.”
The team at Utilita Energy Hub couldn’t wait to get involved: “From our vantage point we see all the good things the Cathedral does for community. We understand it’s difficult at the moment, so being able to contribute to the event in this way made sense to us. Whatever people need we are here.” said Hub Manager Callum Slavin.
We’re thrilled to once again partner with award winning Luxmuralis. Previous shows at Christmas by Luxmuralis have been ‘The Beginning’ (2021), and ‘The Angels are Coming’ (2019). Both were resounding successes bringing thousands of visitors into the city centre to see the splendor of the Cathedral transformed inside and out.
Peter Walker, the show creator says: “We are delighted to return for our third Christmas show at the Cathedral. For many the illuminations have become a tradition for Sheffield, bringing people of all ages and all backgrounds together in the heart of the city. The Manger is a beautiful production which we are sure will get people in the mood for Christmas celebrations this year.”
