Island of Foam (National Play Day) at City Park
Come and see Centenary Square as you’ve never seen it before – transformed by mountains of Technicolor foam.
Two events - 2pm and 4pm on 6th August 2025.
Island of Foam: Version #40 is the spectacular creation of German artist Stephanie Lüning, whose large scale painting actions change how we look at familiar public spaces. At 2pm and 4pm on 6 August, she’ll be flooding Centenary Square with foam, creating a dynamic art installation in real time as a huge kaleidoscope of colour sweeps across the square.
You can watch the transformation from the safety of the pavement across from City Hall – and when it’s complete, you can jump right in.
Island of Foam: Version #40 takes place on Playday, the UK’s national day for play. Bring a camera – and maybe a towel…
FREE event - no ticket required.
