Lumos Experiences

Candlelit concerts in remarkable venues

Lumos Experiences is a concert promoter that programmes intimate live music performances in unconventional spaces: historic churches, hidden gardens, theatres and venues of distinctive character. Its offering combines classical and popular repertoire — from Vivaldi and Mozart to instrumental covers of Coldplay — performed by live musicians and presented under the glow of hundreds of candles. The company operates in the UK, US and Europe, and its website lets you find shows by area and buy tickets.

Programme and repertoire

The announced line-up of experiences includes concerts such as A Coldplay Candlelight Experience and A Vivaldi & Mozart Candlelight Experience, held in UK locations including Bromyard, Droitwich Spa, Ilfracombe and Ilkley, at venues such as St Peter's Church, Sacred Heart & St Catherine of Alexandria Catholic Church, Holy Trinity Church and All Saints' Parish Church. The programme is organised by country and date, and the website shows upcoming dates with a direct link to buy tickets.

Musicians and the format of the evenings

Each experience features carefully selected musicians, from classical soloists to jazz ensembles, performing in spaces chosen for their acoustics and atmosphere. The format is designed to feel intimate: modestly sized rooms, limited audiences and a candlelit setting that, according to the company itself, transforms the venue into a warm and enveloping place.

Beyond the main cities

The company states as a principle that it brings live music to towns and communities outside the major urban centres, reviving old buildings and giving them cultural activity. That approach explains why its concerts take place in villages and small towns, not only in capital cities.

Private events and collaborations

In addition to its public programme, Lumos offers the option to book an entire venue for private experiences, from corporate evenings to milestone celebrations. The company also actively seeks remarkable spaces (churches, community halls, gardens), musicians and artists for its network, suppliers of products or services for events, and content creators or influencers interested in collaborating to spread the word about its dates.

What attendees say

The website reports an average rating of 4.2 out of 5 based on more than 2,000 reviews, with more than 500,000 attendees to date. Featured testimonials mention the quality of the musicians, how well entry and exit were organised, the staff's treatment of guests and the atmosphere of the venues, with examples from audiences in the US and the UK.

Charitable initiative

Each month the company directs its support to a different cause. Among the organisations listed are Worldwide Cancer Research, Breast Cancer Now, Movember Foundation and Sepsis Research in the field of global health; Mind Charity and Alzheimer's Society in mental health; Unicef and World Food Programme in humanitarian action; Playing For Change Foundation in education, and Dogs Trust in animal welfare.
