The Luminarium is a giant and very colourful inflatable maze, which will be staged in Dublin’s Docklands as part of this year’s St Patrick’s Festival.

Designed by UK-based Architects of Air, the Luminarium is a brand new maze which is being unveiled for the very first time in Dublin as part of the Festival.

The Luminarium in Docklands will be staged on a specially-built platform on George’s Dock, in the IFSC, just minutes from O’Connell Bridge.

Extending to over 100 square metres, this giant structure, viewed from the street will provoke curiosity and have a spectacular impact. On entering, visitors experience light and colour and are invited to wander barefoot through the labyrinth of tunnels, mazes and domes in a peaceful and hypnotic atmosphere or just lie back and enjoy the spectacle.

Loretta Lambkin, Director of Marketing at the Docklands Authority, said, “The Luminarium in Docklands is a great opportunity for people to experience a truly unique piece of street theatre. It has been described as a combination of light, sound and architectural form. We expect it will be a must-see attraction over the St Patrick’s Festival.”

The Luminarium in Docklands will be open to the public from Wednesday, 16th March to Sunday, 20th March from 10 am to 6 pm. Tickets are €6 plus €0.50 booking fee and are available through The Box Office, The Central Ticket Bureau, 33 Eden Quay, Dublin 1, Tel: 01-872 1122 and Web: www.centralticketbureau.com.
