A world premiere immersive light installation is set to transform the grounds of a hospice.
The new artwork, titled Moments of Light, will be staged at Dorothy House Hospice Care in Winsley, Bradford on Avon, from October 1 to December 31, 2026, as part of the hospice’s 50th anniversary.
Created by internationally renowned light artist and Dorothy House ambassador Bruce Munro, the installation promises a deeply moving experience of reflection, connection, and remembrance.
Wayne de Leeuw, chief executive of Dorothy House, said: "As part of our vision to create a society where death is part of life, Moments of Light reflects the very heart of Dorothy House.
"For 50 years, we have walked alongside people during some of the most tender moments of their lives.
"This installation brings that spirit of compassion and reflection to a wider community of individuals who will inevitably all encounter death and grief at some point in their lives."
The large-scale artwork will illuminate acres of the hospice’s grounds, inviting visitors to wander among thousands of glowing forms in a landscape that gently breathes with light.
Building on Munro’s celebrated installations across Australia, Japan, the US, South Korea, and Europe, Moments of Light continues his creative partnership with Dorothy House, following the success of the permanent Firefly Woods installation in the hospice’s woodland.
The new artwork is intended to offer comfort and connection through art and nature, supporting people through grief by reminding them of the enduring presence of light in darkness.
Munro, who is also an ambassador for the hospice, said: "I am honoured to create this new work for Dorothy House as part of its anniversary celebrations.
"My hope is that Moments of Light will offer visitors a space to breathe, reflect and feel held within an environment shaped by care, beauty and nature."
Tickets for the installation are free but must be booked in advance, and visitors are encouraged to make a donation to support the hospice’s work.
All proceeds will help Dorothy House continue providing free, specialist end-of-life care to patients and their families.
Visitors will also have the opportunity to dedicate a light on a Firefly, creating a personal tribute within the constellation of remembrance.
With bookable tickets released on May 1, 2026, a quarter of tickets have already sold.
For five decades, Dorothy House has provided specialist care, compassion and support to 75,000 people in the last 1,000 days of their lives.
