Visitors' senses to be dazzled by Barnsley luminarium
Barnsley’s Market Gate car park is the temporary home of a luminarium, and visitors will have the chance to walk through the spectacular inflatable construction from today.
Coun Roy Miller, Barnsley Council’s cabinet spokesman for place, said: “The luminarium’s stunning silhouette will be a sight to behold in the town centre. Huge in scale, people will be able to explore the unique sensory experience no matter what their age.

The luminarium is run by UK-based Architects of Air. It is half the size of a football field and will be open to the public from today until Sunday. It is made from special plastic which allows sunlight to pass through, creating a kaleidoscope effect of shapes and colours.
The centrepiece of the structure is a 33ft high multi-coloured dome.
Advanced tickets are still available at a cost of £3 per person at www.visit-barnsley.com/luminarium.
Some tickets will be available each day.
