Information

From the Guggenheim in Spain to the Sydney Opera House in Australia, the monumental and interactive walk-in sculptures of Architects of Air and designed by Alan Parkinson, have astounded audiences across the globe. Architects of Air has toured the luminaria since 1992 and visited 43 countries.

The luminarium offers a dazzling maze of winding paths and soaring domes where Islamic architecture, Archimedean solids and Gothic cathedrals meld into an inspiring monument to the beauty of light and colour, and where visitors can happily lose themselves.

The installation awakens all the senses, creating a sense of wonder and enchantment for all ages. Visitors are transported and immersed into an amazing world of light and subtle and saturated hues, for a unique sensory experience, and brings visual art in places where you wouldn’t expect it.

It is a paradox that such a stimulating environment can simultaneously be so calming and comforting. Many people find a luminarium a place for rest or meditation.

Timed Entry Sessions
The Luminarium will be open from 12 noon to 6pm each day – Fri 23 Aug to Mon 26 Aug.
Timed entry tickets will be available to book in August.
Walk up admission will be available on the day, however we encourage you to book in advance to avoid queuing on the day and to avoid disappointment.

Relaxed Sessions
The Luminarium is always a relaxed environment, however these sessions are offered at the beginning and end of the day with online booking only to allow for smaller queues and a reduced number of people inside the Luminarium at one time.
Sat 24 Aug: 12 noon – 12.30pm & 5.30pm – 6pm
Sun 25 Aug: 12 noon – 12.30pm & 5.30pm – 6pm
