Organic fireworks illuminate Greenwich in this sustainable celebration and spectacular UK Premiere.
Artist Daan Roosegaarde became inspired by the magical light of fireflies, and the desire to transform traditional methods of celebration such as fireworks, balloons, drones and confetti. The result is SPARK, a poetic performance that combines innovative technology with awe-inspiring design.
Thousands of biodegradable light sparks organically move with the ever-changing wind, inspiring you to marvel, wonder and reflect.
Bring your own blanket and pillow and be amazed under the SPARKS.
