A new light and sound installation will illuminate York Minster this October half term.
Platinum and Light is a new projection and sound artwork from artists Ross Ashton and Karen Monid – who created the spectacular Northern Lights installation which ran at York Minster in October 2019.
The new show will help raise funds to conserve the cathedral’s medieval stained glass and stonework.
Platinum and Light will run for eight nights from Thursday 20 to Thursday 27 October 2022.
Inspired by the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, the show will use precious metals through the ages to journey through moments in York’s and the Minster’s history and their royal connections.
Neil Sanderson, director of the York Minster Fund, said: “We’re delighted to welcome Ross and Karen back to York Minster following the success of Northern Lights in 2019 and can’t wait to share this stunning new installation with our visitors.
“We were overwhelmed with the response to the events in 2019, and look forward to welcoming people to see this new installation and experience the Minster in a different light while supporting our work to conserve its world-renowned medieval stained glass and exquisite stonework.”
Tickets are available now via the cathedral’s website and cost £7.50 each, or £25 for a family ticket for up to two adults and two children.
