Location
Tangle invites children and their families to create a giant, vibrant, interactive artwork that shifts and grows over time.
As they enter, each child is given a ball of colourful elastic thread which they can weave in and around tall golden poles. Gradually, a spectacular, multi-coloured, ever-changing landscape forms – a fascinating place to play, explore and bounce. Polyglot artists roam throughout, inspiring hilarity, adventure and just a touch of chaos…
With a funky live soundtrack, Tangle is an event where children take the lead. Together they build and contribute to an enchanting public artwork that everyone can enjoy.
Tangle is designed for children aged 2-12 years and their families.
