🌈 Colourscape at Stockwood Discovery Centre, Luton
Sunday 10 August 2025
Time: 10:30 - 16:30
🌈 Colourscape comes to Luton for the first time on August 9th & 10th 2025! A large walk-in labyrinth of colour and light will fill the lawn at Stockwood Discovery Centre.
🗓 2025 DATES
▪️Saturday 9th August
▪️Sunday 10th August
▪️AGES:
Suitable for all ages book now and don a primary-coloured cloak to become part of the colour experience and step into a new world of intense colour and light. This is a contemporary music, art and dance event that everyone can enjoy from babies to 100-year-olds!
🤩 WHAT TO EXPECT
Colourscape is formed of many interlinked chambers of primary colours to create a labyrinth (each chamber c. 4M across). Step forwards and a long view of radiating colours appears.
Another step and another view appears until you are surrounded and immersed in the most intense colour and light imaginable. Visitors have described the experience as being like “wrapped in a rainbow” or saying “I felt I could breathe colours!"
You can freely walk anywhere to explore this amazing space and will discover musicians and dancers anywhere inside leading you on a journey of all the senses.
The musicians may be found in a large Silver Dome playing unusual instruments - maybe Tibetan Singing bowls or Asian instruments or instruments of water, maybe playing the branch of a tree or a bicycle wheel with a violin bow! And the dancers express the music with creative movement that draws you into the experience.
