Details

Visit the unique illuminated ‘The Light of Hope Star’ art installation, a 3m steel sculpture, with neon changing lights, suspended above Winchester Cathedral’s majestic Quire.

The star, a symbol of divine guidance, protection and oneness is here created in a contemporary way.

Created as a final sculpture for ‘The Light of Hope’ mass participation project in 2020 that incorporated 7 UK Cathedrals sending beams of light up into the night sky as beacons of hope during the Covid 19 pandemic.

This installation will be at Winchester Cathedral on 29th September 2022 and will remain in situ until Jan 2023, entry to see this sculpture is included with a general admission ticket. It makes for the perfect photo opportunity, but also, a powerful focal point in moments of reflection.
