Coventry will see in the New Year with a sound and light experience – the likes of which the city has never seen before.

Sunrise is a family-friendly experience at Coventry Cathedral that will take its audience through the transition from darkness to light as the beginning of 2019 approaches.

The breath-taking event will bathe the Ruins in waves of graduating colours that change over the duration of the performance through a light installation brought to life by an atmospheric, electronic soundscape entitled 'Sunrise Sonata' commissioned specifically for the show.

Sunrise will be the stunning finale of Plumb Line Festival, a year-long festival celebrating 100 years of the Diocese and Coventry Cathedral and will run on New Year’s Eve at 6pm, 9pm and midnight. Tickets are £6 (including booking fee) for over 16s and free for those under 16. Booking is essential.

For those who enjoy the event so much that they would like to see it again, or for audiences who cannot make the New Year’s event, Sunrise will be played with a pre-recorded soundtrack between January 1 and January 13. These performances will be free for all the family running hourly each day from 5pm with the final session at 9pm.

Additional activity on New Year’s Eve includes a Big Fish Little Fish Children’s Rave, with glitter cannons, bubbles, giant balloons and a parachute dance finale. It’s suitable for all ages and will start at 1pm and finish at 3pm with tickets priced at £8.

The celebrations continue in the main Cathedral from 7pm with a free moving light, sound and performance extravaganza throughout the night with DJs and a bar.

Local digital and visual artists are encouraged to BYOB – Bring Your Own Beamer – which will be projected onto the walls of the main Cathedral. Artists who would like to get involved should visit the Plumbline festival website for application information.

Bookings and information for Sunrise are available at plumb-line2018.co.uk
