COLOURSCAPE August 2014 The hugely popular Colourscape has visited the Holburne in 2012 and 2013, as well as many successful appearances across the UK and Europe including the Colourscape Music Fes val (London), Merseyside River Fes val (Liverpool) and 2011 European Capital of Culture (Turku, Finland). Colourscape is a walk-in structure of colour and light. Wandering through the interconnected chambers, you experience the intensity and subtlety of colour. Adults say it is like ‘breathing colour’. Children say it is like being ‘wrapped in a rainbow’.
