The story of Evesham is being beamed onto one of the town’s iconic landmarks as part of a new light show.

A series of images projected on to the Almonry Museum take the viewer on a journey through Evesham’s heritage, from the Virgin Mary to Eof the swinesherd.

The project, titled ‘It Began with Light’, has been designed by video projection artists Illuminos, who have work displayed across the country and internationally.

It has been commissioned by Wychavon District Council as part of the next stage of the Enlighten Evesham Creative Lighting Trail, with the Bell Tower and war memorial in Abbey Park already illuminated.

The aim is to eventually creatively light All Saints and St Lawrence’s churches as well as the Cloister Arch.

The projection was officially launched on Friday December 3, by mayor of Evesham Sue Amor, and will be on display from 6:30pm to 8pm every day until the beginning of March 2022.

Councillor Martin King, executive board member for transformation, efficiency and town centre revitalisation on Wychavon District Council, said: “This latest light project is a welcome addition to the Enlighten Creative Lighting Trail and I look forward to the remaining part of the project being completed.

“It’s a small example of the work we are doing to support our town centres by adding new and innovative things for people to see and do.”

Councillor Rob Adams, executive board member for community engagement, culture and sport on Wychavon District Council, added: “The new light projection looks fantastic and is a great way to bring the story of Evesham to life and promote the town’s rich heritage to a wider audience.”
