French venture Luminiscence, famed for lighting up major landmarks around the world with incredible 360° projections, is making its way to the UK for the first time ever.
Launched in 2023, Luminiscence has so far lit up World Heritage Sites in cities around the world, including Barcelona, Bordeaux, Minneapolis, and Brussels, awing millions of visitors.

The walk-through show will be accompanied by evergreen songs by Mancunian bands such as The Verve and Joy Division, performed by the Manchester Collectives Gospel Choir, and narrated by award-winning actor Christopher Eccleston.
