#theplaygroundof illusions

Saturday / 9-5pm / The Common

Saturday 22nd September will see an incredible site on Lindfield Common. Not only will the famous Pink Literary Tent be prominent on The Common but there will also be some amazing illusions to be explored.

The Playground of Illusions​ is a collection of 8 ‘giant toys’ that each contain a visual or auditory illusion. The toys are placed in an area that the audience are free to wander round and explore. Each illusion is self-sufficient and works brilliantly on its own, together they make an unforgettable and fascinating experience that is inspirational, educational and (most importantly) awesome FUN!

The design of the illusions is inspired by steampunk and a sense of playful invention –with levers to pull and wheels to turn, buttons to push and pedals to pedal. Vintage industrial machines are re-used to make the quirky gadgets, creating an intriguing visual spectacle that will draw visitors in and ignite their imaginations.

Enter the intriguing and enthralling Playground of Illusions, a new area full of mystery and trickery from Travelling Light Circus – see the world in a new light in this hypnotic fusion of science and art. Explore and play together in a mysterious collection of giant experiences that each contain an illusion and make incredible things happen.

Look out for “The Gravity Vortex Floor”, “The Impossible Shrinking Mushroom”, “The Uttlerly Convincing Mirage” and “The Forever Speeding Up Rhythm”. Then be mesmerised by the magical, mechanical movements of the hypnotic Pendulum Wave Machine.

Come and play with these intriguing and enchanting interactive toys – visual and auditory illusions that reveal the unexpected, the unimaginable and sometimes the unexplained !

Discover incredible wonders that have to be seen (or heard) to be believed.
