It seems ages ago since I bought tickets for this event, yet it came round quickly in the end. It’s still the season of light shows, and having been knocked out by one I attended in Winchester Cathedral last year, I thought I’d do another, but in London. It is by the same people and they take their light show all over the place. It was in St Albans at one time.
The night was surprisingly warm. I’d booked the tickets for the first slot on the first night, so no hanging around. Because St Martin’s is a smaller venue than some, the lights began outside the building to the side (where you could get a free peek if you’d not got tickets). You could also see through the windows and the display flitting across the church.
After seeing the lights outside, we filed down the stairs into the crypt where there is normally a cafe. This was shut, but outside there was a drinks bar. Down here was a tunnel of blue with stars and made everyone look like they were wearing cosy fleeces!

Then it was time to enter the church itself where the main display was.
What can I say, but wow! It over too soon. We watched it through twice before finally leaving, and to make space for those coming up behind us. The show is on for a few more weeks, so if you can, do go and see it.
