Bright ideas - go green at Chapelfield Luminarium

For a surreal experience this month, head South to Chapelfield Gardens, surrender your shoes and be swallowed up by the multi-coloured karma of a giant Islamic 'bouncy cathedral'...

Architects of Air's Notts - made 'Levity III' luminarium is a gigantic, multi-chambered sculpture which people enter to become immersed in an experience of radiant light, colour and sound.

The structure features a series of winding passages, mood chambers, relaxation pods and small domes all inspired by the architectural forms found in Iranian bazaars.

The spectacular lighting effects to be found within the modular, zipped-together structure are created by the effects of natural daylight shining through the various coloured sections of plastic.

Take something for the kids to play with in the queue if you go at the weekend..! However, once you're ushered inside the airlock rest-assured, they will be satisfyingly wow-ed...

Opening times: 3pm-8pm Mon-Fri
11am-8pm Saturdays, Sundays and bank holiday Monday

Admission: £4 adults, £3 under 16.
