Poppy Fields is a poignant light and sound show taking you on an immersive journey around the cathedral. The art works reflect on the end of world war one and world war two as well as looking ahead for peace in our world.
Accompanying the projections is specially composed music by David Harper and poetry recorded by Oscar-winning actor, Eddie Redmayne.
As you step inside the ancient surround of the cathedral, you will be enveloped in a sea of poppies tumbling down the old stone walls, some still baring their own lasting scars of wars they have weathered.
Within the installations is a moving tribute to the NHS, which looks at nursing through history and the roles of nurses such as Florence Nightingale, Mary Seacole, and the role nurses play today.
As you approach the cathedral nave, before you reach the finale piece, there will be a moment for you to stop at the cathedral's 16th Century 'West Window' as projections light-up the shattered glass, reflecting the symbolic human spirit to rebuild and survive.
