In the Great Hall, at the rear of the building, a massive dome has been constructed. The audience lay on bean bags on the floor to fully immerse themselves in the performance. There are also chairs set up around the outside for those that find this too daunting. Different shows screen at various times during the afternoon and evening and last around 40 minutes. “The Dark Side of the Moon” plays in full with mesmerising visuals. Holst’s “The Planets 360” takes us across the solar system with the Gustav Holst’s opus. “Coral – Rekindling Venus” is a fascinating trip to the depths of the oceans as we watch tendrils, bioluminescence and amoeba survive in this harsh environment. At the other end of trippy, with more legs than any other movie, “XYZZY” is a psychedelic video game-like trip. Imagine the view in “2001: Space Odyssey” from the POV of the starship. There are nine different shows to choose from.
