Lichfield Cathedral marks decade of Christmas light shows

Lichfield Cathedral is celebrating the tenth anniversary of its annual Christmas light show, a tradition that combines music and visual projections to share the Nativity story. This year’s event, titled "Follow the Star," is scheduled to run from December 15 to 21.

Developed by the animation team Illuminos, the production will feature projections displayed on the cathedral's West Front and the Bishop’s Palace before moving inside the historic 13th-century building. Dean of Lichfield Jan McFarlane described the event as an invitation for the community to engage with the message of hope and joy associated with the season.

Organizers noted that the light shows have become a significant part of the cathedral's festive outreach over the last decade. The event is supported by local sponsors, and tickets are currently available for those wishing to attend the anniversary celebration.
