Bury St Edmunds Weekend Light Spectacular is a captivating fusion of storytelling

The howl of a wolf rings out across the Great Churchyard of Bury St Edmunds and the hymn of prayer envelopes the landscape.

Crowds are marvelling at the Norman Tower as the landmark is transformed into a canvas colourful light to tell the story of Bury's fallen abbey.

The celebrations to mark the 1000th anniversary of the Abbey of St Edmund are ending in style with a Weekend Light Spectacular.

The history of the abbey, which was lost 483 years ago, echoes through the foundations of Bury St Edmunds and this captivating display is a perfect showcase of our heritage.

With 3D mapping video projections, a fusion of light and sound tells the story of St Edmund and the founding of the abbey using historic images.

Starting with the mesmerising display on the Norman Tower, which chronicles the abbey's glory days and its demise, a light trail through the Abbey Gardens awaits.

The ruins, once described as 'petrified porridge', are bathed in colour as the crowds journey to St Edmundsbury Cathedral's garth for a mesmerising and moving finale at the cathedral tower.

The 20 to 30 minute experience has been a huge success and is sold out with 10,000 tickets snapped up.

It is truly a fitting celebration of the town's rich history.

The event is being jointly organised by St Edmundsbury Cathedral and West Suffolk Council on behalf of Abbey 1000 C.I.C, while West Suffolk College is producing the Abbey Gardens trail.

The light show is created by the award-winning Projection Studio, which has created 3D video mapping on several UK landmark buildings including the Blackpool Tower and York Minster.
