Light Organ transforms sounds into a symphony of light. This large-scale interactive installation features 38 illuminated acrylic pipes that respond to sounds captured through microphones positioned around the space.⁠

⁠During your visit, guests are invited to sing, speak, clap or create any sound to activate dynamic patterns of light within the sculptural array.⁠

The interactive installation allows you to control its colourful lights with the sounds you make – and the sensory experience is perfect for all ages to enjoy together.

The creators devised the work to be “uplifting and playful – encouraging people to experiment and share their love of light and sound”.⁠

Light Organ will be installed from Saturday 5th July – Sunday 13th July.

  • The Crypt will be open from 11am until 4pm each day and throughout the installation there is no charge for entry, although a suggested donation of £5 per person is encouraged which supports the upkeep of Blackburn Cathedral, helping us stage more events like this and keeping our doors open for all.
  • Access to the Crypt is directly from Cathedral Square, BB1 1FB or via the main Cathedral building, next to Checks & Greys café.
  • The installation at Blackburn Cathedral is part of the National Festival of Making.
