Luminarium, Thursday

Step inside Luminarium, a spectacular walk-through installation filled with light, colour, and calm, as The Stray transforms into a magical world of sensory bliss..

Created by the world-renowned Architects of Air and designed by Artistic Director Alan Parkinson, this monumental inflatable structure invites visitors to slow down and explore at their own pace. Inside, winding pathways and soaring domes glow with radiant colour as light filters through the translucent fabric, creating an ever-changing, immersive experience.

Luminarium is designed to be gentle, inclusive, and open to everyone. There’s no right route and no rush — just space to wander, look, and enjoy the atmosphere. Whether you’re visiting with family, friends, or taking a quiet moment for yourself, Luminarium offers a rare chance to experience art from the inside out.

Suitable for all ages. A truly memorable experience for curious minds and calm seekers alike.

Book for a half hour time slot on Thursday 11 June (time slots also available on Friday 12 June, Saturday 13 June and Sunday 14 June). Please note: the 2pm to 2.30pm time on Thursday 11 June slot is specifically for children and families with SEND. Last entry is 7.40pm, 20 minutes before the Luminarium closes.
