Step inside a monumental world of colour and light: an immersive inflatable structure lit entirely by daylight glowing through its fabric.

Rising high above visitors, the sweeping canopies of the luminarium’s domes take inspiration from the intricate ceilings of Iranian mosques.

Having created luminaria for over three decades, Architects of Air return with Timisien, their extraordinary luminarium of soaring domes and winding labyrinths. Flooded with radiant light, Timisien creates a sensory world far removed from the everyday – inviting visitors of all ages to pause, explore, and be amazed.

With thanks and acknowledgements to Highfields Park and Nottingham City Council for their continued support of this event.
