Discover the Magic of Myriad

From Saturday 25 to Tuesday 28 October, Blyth Market Place was transformed by Myriad, the stunning Luminarium by Architects of Air. This inflatable labyrinth of light and colour offered a calming, otherworldly experience for all ages, delighting visitors with its beauty and wonder.

Created by internationally renowned artist Alan Parkinson, Myriad celebrated art, architecture, and light in the most joyful way - free to explore and unforgettable to remember.
