If your idea of a perfect winter evening involves glowing galaxies, immersive soundscapes and standing beneath a sky full of stars without leaving Zone 1, then Space at St Martin-in-the-Fields should be firmly on your radar.
Landing in London from Tuesday 17 to Saturday 21 February 2026, this dazzling sound and light experience by Luxmuralis transforms one of the capital’s most iconic buildings into a walk-through journey across the universe. Having already popped up — and sold out — in cities across the UK, Space returns bigger, bolder and more awe-inducing than ever.
The experience begins outside, where the exterior of St Martin’s is illuminated with spectacular projections that ripple across its historic façade. Think stars bursting into life, planets drifting into view and humanity’s story written across the stone itself. From there, visitors follow a gentle trail into the church, stepping deeper into a world of light, colour and sound.
Inside, it’s fully immersive. Projections spill across walls and ceilings, accompanied by a bespoke atmospheric soundtrack that pulls you into scenes of rocket launches, the Big Bang and galaxies forming before your eyes. One moment you’re watching the universe ignite; the next, you’re reflecting on Earth’s fragile place within it all.
The journey reaches its emotional peak in the church’s underground crypt, where you’re surrounded by twinkling lights and looping constellations — part silent disco, part cosmic meditation. It’s here that the experience invites you to pause, sit, and take it all in, as if gazing back at Earth from space itself.
Perfect for art lovers, music fans, space geeks and anyone after something a little different, Space manages to be both visually jaw-dropping and quietly thought-provoking. As Neil Armstrong once said, “We are so tiny in the system of things” — and this exhibition captures that feeling beautifully.
The full experience lasts around 30–60 minutes, with a 15-minute seated finale, though you’re welcome to linger and soak it all up. Tickets start from £8, and the courtyard café and bar will be open for pre- and post-show drinks.
A cosmic escape, right in the middle of London — no spacesuit required. For listing info, please find at http://www.smitf.org/SPACE
