About

An evening ticketed visit transforms the abbey ruins with projected historical scenes, lighting and sound.

On four October evenings, visitors can explore the ruins after dark, see projected animations depicting the abbey’s history, join a guided tour, and hear live choral music in the Cellarium. Half-hour ticketed arrival windows start at 17:00, 17:30, 18:00, 18:30, 19:00 and 19:30, with last entry at 20:00; guided tours and choral performances have their own times within the evening. The site closes at 21:00 and car parks at 21:30. Booking is essential, including for members.
