Lewes sky lit at spectacular arts event!
A spectacular light show involving lasers, live music and a lantern procession will brighten the streets of Lewes around TRINITY Church Southover in Southover High Street on Saturday 22nd November. Lewes Christian Arts are inviting people of all ages to help lighten the November gloom. Everyone is welcome!
From 2pm the church will be open to all for a variety of free family-themed arts and crafts activities and workshops. At 4.30pm everyone will take to the streets with lanterns they’ve made during the afternoon for a procession to celebrate light, love and hope.
Between 7pm and 9pm there will be an evening of contemplative readings, original music sung by a choir, created especially for this event and a light show which will transform the church inside and out, with the night sky illuminated by a laser display.
Serena Smith, Chair of Trustees for Lewes Christian Arts, describes the event as ‘enabling people to feel enlightened and their souls refreshed.’ Fellow trustee and Director of Music Chrissie Pepper says, ‘In a world of uncertainty, confusion and darkness, we want to put on an event that enables people to contemplate the hope, the love and the light that refuses to be extinguished’.
There will also be a pop up Art Gallery with artworks inspired by the title ‘Ways of Light’ including original art submitted from local schools and colleges in recent weeks as part of the first ever Lewes Christian Arts competition, the winning entries of which will be announced on the evening.
Entry to the afternoon and evening events is free. More details at www.lewespassionplay.org and insta@leweschristianarts, or email [email protected].
