Poppy Fields at the Tower

An immersive sound and light show

An immersive sound and light show

This November over the Remembrance period, join us at the Tower of London for this poignant and moving sound and light show, Poppy Fields at the Tower.  

Historic Royal Palaces have partnered with Luxmuralis to present an incredible display that will take visitors on a journey through specially created sound and light projections.

Experience the Tower illuminated

The projections will feature artwork reflecting on the First World War and Second World War that will transform the architecture of the iconic Tower buildings. You'll also experience special after-hours access to see the Crown Jewels, without the usual crowds.
 
This unique show will create space for visitors to remember those who lost their lives in the conflicts, as well as those who served. It will also look forward, exploring the collective desire for peace.  

Exclusively at the Tower of London, the show has been adapted to include images from Historic Royal Palaces’ own collections, creating a unique artwork that reflects the historic site.

Running for only nine nights in November, don't miss your chance to commemorate the lives lost in the wars in this stirring and evocative sound and light show.
