A dazzling installation launching for the first time at Norwich Cathedral is expected to attract crowds from across the UK.
Time - a light and sound spectacle designed by sculptor Peter Walker and composer David Harper - is set to illuminate the cathedral's ancient stonework from October 27 to October 31.
The Very Revd Dr Andrew Braddock, Dean of Norwich, is expecting visitors from far and wide after hundreds of tickets were snapped up shortly after they were released.
The creators have lit up landmarks including Westminster Abbey, the Tower of London, and Washington National Cathedral with their immersive installations under the creative partnership, Luxmuralis.
Dr Braddock is hoping the artwork, which has been curated specifically for Norwich Cathedral, will become a "must-see" event this half term.
He said: "We are expecting people to come from Norfolk and beyond.
"I have visited similar installations at Ely Cathedral, Gloucester Cathedral and Shrewsbury Abbey.
"I thought it would be amazing to have one here.
"Hopefully it will attract people who wouldn't usually think about coming to the cathedral."
The immersive experience, which ends in a "dramatic and awe-inspiring conclusion", will guide visitors through a series of projected artworks and soundscapes.
It explores time, art and science and travels from the present day back to the birth of the planet.
Mr Walker, one of the artists, said: "It is a real pleasure to bring Time to Norwich Cathedral.
"We hope to encourage visitors to encounter this magnificent sacred space, discovering new perspectives and a deeper connection with the building, its stories and our shared human experience."
Visitors can book tickets on Norwich Cathedral's website for entry at 15-minute intervals.
"Ticket sales have been strong so far," Mr Braddock said.
The event will run each evening from 5.15pm to 8pm.
Admission costs £10 for adults and £5 for children up to the age of 15.
Children aged three and under can attend for free.
A family ticket, which covers two adults and up to three children, is available for £25.
