About

Ever wondered what it would be like to be inside a stained-glass window? Bristol Light Festival is bringing the sensational sensory experience Luminarium to Bristol for 11 days this summer as a free-to-visit immersive experience on College Green.

Visitors are being invited to enter a world of wonder when the world-famous inflatable domes filled with natural light and colour visit the city this summer. Taking inspiration from natural forms, Islamic and Gothic cathedrals and modern architecture, the Luminarium is a sunlight-powered sensory experience featuring kaleidoscopic colours, domes, tunnels and pods. It's a dazzling maze of winding paths and soaring domes where natural forms and light meld into an inspiring mix of design and engineering. Visitors walking through the paths will experience the beauty of light and colour in a whole new way.

An Instagrammers dream, this installation is truly designed for every member of the family and every age group. As a multi-sensory environment, it is also accessible for those with complex needs.

The Luminarium is fully wheelchair accessible, set across one level, and schools and organisations for children and adults with accessibility needs are being invited to join in the experience with quieter sessions available.

Luminarium by Architects of Air is presented by Bristol Light Festival, delivered by Bristol City Centre BID, supported by Arts Council England and delivered as one of the activities under the City Centre and High Streets Recovery and Renewal programme, funded by Bristol City Council and the West of England Combined Authority's Love our High Street project.
