An exhibition about the story of planet Earth is set to take place at Leicester Cathedral in November.

The Elements is an immersive sound and light show telling the story of the planet's evolution which will be projected onto the walls and windows of the historic building between 10-15 November.

It follows a similar show held at Leicester Cathedral in 2024 which focused on space and attracted more than 6,000 visitors. The show will be presented by projection art gallery Luxmuralis.

Dean of the cathedral, the Very Reverend Karen Rooms, said: "We are looking forward to welcoming visitors old and new as we contemplate our planet and the environment in which we live."

She added: "We are excited to welcome Luxmuralis back to the cathedral.

"Last year, it was wonderful to see the joy it brought to thousands of people, many of whom hadn't experienced the cathedral before."
