Helios at Derby Cathedral

Helios by Luke Jerram

20 – 31 October

A spectacular seven-metre model of the sun is set to light up Derby Cathedral this autumn marking the start of its centenary celebrations.

Internationally acclaimed artist Luke Jerram will bring his latest touring installation, Helios, to the city from October 20 to 31, giving visitors the chance to get up close to a breathtaking recreation of the sun.

The immersive artwork combines art, science and sound to reveal the extraordinary detail of our nearest star, featuring imagery created from NASA observations and photographs captured by astrophotographer Dr Stuart Green and a range of interactive activities linked to the installation will be available for Key Stage 1 and 2 schoolchildren, as well as visitors of all ages.
