A Powerful Visual Tribute: Poppy Fields at Gloucester Cathedral 2025
Tickets now on sale for Poppy Fields, a powerful light and sound installation at Gloucester Cathedral
Tickets are now on sale for Poppy Fields, a moving and powerful light show at Gloucester Cathedral created by the world-renowned projection art gallery and artistic collaboration Luxmuralis. Running from Friday 17 October to Saturday 25 October 2025, Poppy Fields marks the return of Luxmuralis to Gloucester, following the sell-out success of Light Eternal in 2023.
Set within the Cathedral’s beautiful sacred space, this immersive installation invites visitors to pause, reflect and remember the sacrifices of the First and Second World Wars, while offering a message of peace and hope for the future. Through evocative projections, poetry and a narration by Oscar-winning actor Eddie Redmayne, Poppy Fields explores the human cost of conflict while offering a message of peace, remembrance and hope.
Timed entry slots will run every 15 minutes from 6.15pm to 8.45pm. General admission is £9.50 for adults, £4.50 for children aged 5-16, while children under 5 go free. For a truly unforgettable evening, Premium Experience tickets are also available at £25 (adults) and £15 (children). These include fast-track entry, a complimentary drink and exclusive access to the Tribune Gallery and Bridge Chapel high above the Quire – offering a unique, elevated view of the installation and brilliant photo opportunities.
Poppy Fields at Gloucester Cathedral will delight visitors this October
Visitors are welcome to stay and enjoy the experience at their own pace.
Peter Walker, Lead Artist and Artistic Director at Luxmuralis, said:
“We are delighted to be back in Gloucester, this time Poppy Fields leads visitors on a powerful and poignant journey through light and sound, transforming the ancient walls of the Cathedral into a living artwork of remembrance. As they walk through this sacred space, immersed in cascading projections and powerful words, we hope people will reflect not only on the immense sacrifices of the past, but also carry forward a message of peace and hope for the future.”
The Very Reverend Andrew Zihni, Dean of Gloucester, added:
“In the lead-up to the season of reflection and Remembrance, Poppy Fields offers a powerful opportunity for people of all ages to come together and honour those who have gone before us. In a world where the themes of war and peace remain so prevalent, it is deeply fitting that this installation will be hosted in the Cathedral. Poppy Fields is a moving, peaceful experience and one we are proud to bring to Gloucester Cathedral.”
