BUILT IN A DAY. IMAGINED FOR THE FUTURE.

Created with award winning theatre-maker, puppeteer and cardboard artist Sam Wilde, this brilliant new installation is a city like no other. Designed, built, and brought to life by families on Nottingham, in just one day.

Known for his inventive, joyful worlds and much‑loved Cardboard Adventures, Sam invited families to think big, play freely, and imagine the future resulting in a bold, ever‑evolving cardboard city packed with creativity and possibility

From sky‑high towers to wild dream parks, every corner is packed with bold ideas about what our future could be. Step inside and explore a living cardboard city shaped by creativity, collaboration, and big imaginations.
