This autumn, step into the serene glow of the Museum of the Moon at Tewkesbury Abbey, where this awe-inspiring artwork by Luke Jerram will transform the Abbey into a space of wonder, reflection, and imagination. Measuring seven metres in diameter and featuring detailed NASA imagery, the internally lit Moon sculpture floats amidst the gothic arches, accompanied by a tranquil soundscape composed by Dan Jones.

Throughout its residency at Tewkesbury Abbey, we invite you to Illuminated Viewing Evenings—a chance to witness Luke Jerram’s Museum of the Moon in its most atmospheric light. As daylight fades, the Abbey’s vast interior becomes a contemplative space bathed in soft lunar glow and ambient music.

Tewkesbury Abbey

With a history stretching over 900 years, Tewkesbury Abbey is one of the largest parish churches in the country. The present building was consecrated in 1121 and continues to be a parish church for Tewkesbury after it was purchased from Henry VIII's commissioners in 1540 for the  sum of £453. The Abbey has seen many changes over those 900 years and continues to evolve as a living parish church for Tewkesbury. We welcome everyone regardless of faith or no faith and hope that, whether you visit for a service or to see our architecture and history, your visit will bring refreshment to body, mind and spirit.
