The National Festival of Making team continues to bring cultural experiences to the North West, connecting people with each other and the themes of making, skills and wellbeing.

In August, they are bringing Inflatable Makers, Architects of Air and their globetrotting, 1000m2 expandable maze of colour to Lancashire, as Blackburn welcomes the unmissable... Dodecalis Luminarium.

The Luminaria are monumental, inclusive inflatable sculptures in which visitors can lose themselves in light, colour and sound as they journey through winding paths and vast domes.

Inspired by Cathedrals and Islamic architecture, the Luminaria have amazed 3 million visitors in over 40 countries across 5 continents, creating a sense of wonder and enchantment for all ages.
