This autumn, something extraordinary will unfold at Dorothy House in Winsley.

From October to December 2026, as evening settles over the valley, the Hospice grounds will come alive with a breathtaking new large-scale light installation by internationally renowned artist — and Dorothy House Ambassador — Bruce Munro. Known around the world for creating vast, immersive environments of light, Bruce is offering our community a rare gift: the chance to step into a landscape transformed into a place of beauty, remembrance and hope.

Visitors will wander among thousands of illuminated forms, each one glowing softly in the darkness — a constellation of light that seems to breathe with the landscape. Come alone to reflect and remember, or as a family to enjoy the wonder of this world-exclusive art. However you join us, this is an experience designed to slow the world down: a moment to pause.

Moments of Light has been created as a gift to our community. Tickets are free because we believe everyone should be able to experience this event, without financial barriers. As a charity however, we rely on the kindness and generosity of those who are able to give so visitors are asked to give a donation.
