Follow the trail of curiosities until you see the Curiositree.
Lie down and take an Imagication in our musical woodland bed installation!
With more than a sprinkle of magic, the living bed is designed to give
its audience a space for calm, creativity and mindfulness. Close your
eyes and listen to what you can hear. Tap into your most curious self
as you lie, excited to experience everything. Gradually open your eyes
and survey your surroundings. See anything you didn’t notice before?
Stumble out of bed and into a shed! Step into mini UV art gallery,
“Shed Some Light”, before discovering what is hidden in Shed no.2.
This Immersive Installation Open Space is created by Curious Agenda
in collaboration with Kiya-Ellen Rose, Mark Daniels, Kate Bruce,
Charlotte Rose, Dave Reading, Radiator Arts + more.
Look out for hidden wonders and artwork made by local children.
