Geopark In The Dark

Between Friday 13th and Sunday 15th March, the half-a-billion-year history of Charnwood Forest was brought to life in a free exhibition and projection show. Inside the 500-year-old ruins of Bradgate House in Bradgate Park , over 3,000 models of the Geopark ’s incredible fossils were created by local people at workshops ​at Fosse Park and Highcross shopping centres   A selection of never-before-seen animations offered a glimpse into the Charnwood Forest over 560 million years ago. The evening began with the house illuminated in blue and red, welcoming us through the gates. An introduction by Jim Butler from YouTube channel ​⁠ led us to explore the sculptures and ruins, creating a dramatic backdrop reminiscent of an episode of The Traitors . Later, the buildings sprang to life with projected animations narrating the park’s history and fossils.

Luxmuralis at Leicester Cathedral

  I take a look at Space by Luxmuralis at Leicester Cathedral. Having previously witnessed Luxmuralis work at Lichfield Cathedral I was exited to see what the artists would create at Leicester Cathedral with its similar architecture but ultimately quite different layout and size. I attended the 8pm showing after attending the Leicester Christmas Lights Switch on (see previous film) on an icy cold 20th November. The Windows of the cathedral were illuminated in various colours as I approached, with the show on a loop the grand soundtrack by David Harper could be heard as I entered the building. Following a route around the interior of this familiar place transformed by Peter Walker and his team with light and projections, I turned right to see King Richard III`s final resting place like never before, illuminated in blue and pink light an ethereal atmosphere was created and with a projection portraying the passage of time projected onto the cathedral wall in front of the Kings tomb, a...
