And with its 800-year-old history, stunning architecture and fascinating heritage, Cartmel Priory gives you a feeling that will last long after you’ve left. Steeped in culture and rich with history, the Priory is found at the very heart of Cartmel village, surrounded

by picturesque English countryside, and gives a warm welcome to everyone who comes to experience it. Exploring the Priory is different for everyone. Some visitors marvel at the ancient architecture, some discover hidden mysteries within its motifs and carvings, others just sit and absorb the Priory’s peaceful atmosphere. Over the centuries the Priory has witnessed war, peace, raids and ruin, but still remains a building of greatness and enduring beauty. A story 800 years in the writing, still being written today.

This October, Cartmel Priory welcomes Lumenis Theatre for a powerful and deeply human performance of Lightstreams.

Maurice and Hermia are a migrant married couple building a life in the UK. While Maurice takes great pride in his work at an elderly care home, Hermia struggles with motherhood and caring for their two-year-old son alone.

When a global crisis forces Maurice to choose between his family and the people in his care, they must navigate separation, sacrifice and the consequences of the choices they make.

Inspired by real-life testimonies, Lightstreams gives a voice to the human stories behind migration, family and care when the world appears to be against them.

📅 Thursday 15 October 2026
