As autumn evenings grow crisp, Wells Cathedral is set to glow with more than just the light of its age-old candles.

Adding a touch of classic rock to its hallowed halls, the cathedral is hosting a series of 'Concerts by Candlelight' that promises to bring iconic anthems to life in a stunningly intimate setting.

First up, the night of 19th September kicks off with a tribute to the legendary band Queen. For three consecutive nights, attendees can relive the magic of Freddie Mercury and his bandmates as West End singers belt out anthems like 'Bohemian Rhapsody' and 'We Are the Champions,' all set to the backdrop of flickering candlelight. Tickets are available exclusively online and offer limited 'screen view only' seats at £10 each.

Come 18th October, the cathedral will be transformed into a veritable 'Batcave,' as stars of the West End production of 'Bat Out of Hell' pay homage to Meat Loaf. With an incredible live rock band accompanying the vocalists, expect to hear classics like 'Anything For Love' and 'Two Out of Three Ain't Bad' reverberating through the stone walls.

If you've been searching for a way to experience 'Little Lies' or 'Don't Stop' in a truly unique setting, look no further. On 19th October, Fleetwood Mac gets the candlelit treatment, promising a night of hits and atmospheric tunes. This concert is pegged to be a 'landslide' event, offering a chance to hear these classics as you've never heard them before.
