Kick off your summer with us...

We're taking over The Ditch with DreamState - an interactive adventure for families, designed to bring the imagination to life.

Choose your own path through eight fantastical rooms, jam packed with interactive activities, intriguing experiences and more than a few surprises. Perhaps you’ll unearth a strange new plant, party with a neon leopard or get blissfully lost in the miniature worlds of nostalgia.

Created in workshops with 112 young people between the ages of 6 and 16, DreamState is a fantastical interactive exhibition for all ages that promises to be an unforgettable way to start the summer.

Whatever adventure you choose, DreamState is a great way to kick off your summer, relax and have fun as a family.

DreamState runs from the 28th July - 2nd August.
