A NEW Light District event has been announced by Cumberland Council and will be held at St Bees Priory.
Space: God, The Universe and Everything, a sound and light show, will take place on the evenings of Thursday, March 14, and Friday, March 15, with tickets available online and in person at Carlisle's Tourist Information Centre, The Beacon Museum, Whitehaven and St Bees post office.
The event will be brought to St Bees, with the support of Cumberland Council’s Destination Management team, and the event will be produced by Luxmuralis.
Councillor Anne Quilter, Cumberland Council’s executive member for vibrant and healthy places, said: "Following the success of Carlisle City of Lights, more areas within Cumberland will form part of a series of events called The Light District.
"The St Bees Priory is an ideal location and will be the latest location to host an event of this type.
Doug Sim from St Bees Parish Council added: "This will be the kind of dynamic light show that has never been seen in West Cumbria before.
"The 900-year-old priory will look stunning."
The Light District builds on the success of Carlisle City of Lights and Workington Hall Lights, with Carlisle also set to host a Light District ‘Crown and Coronation’ event between Thursday, February 15, and Saturday, February 17.
