Cloudscapes
Sat 5 – Sun 6 September | 2pm, 3.30pm, 5pm
Type: Installation, Music, Spectacle
Tickets: Free
Lie back and relax as cloud enthusiast Lorna Rees invites you to contemplate the troposphere. Her dreamy commentary on the passing skies will allow you to appreciate the temporary ‘galleries’ created by clouds. Visit the Cloud Museum afterwards to learn more about cloud-gazing and climate change. Entry will be free but timed and ticketed to enable social distancing.
As Cloudscapes takes place in the same location as The Open Air Drawing Room, why not book for both?
