Luke Jerram's Helios at Clandon Park - VIP Access
Experience Helios, a new sculpture of the sun by artist Luke Jerram, at Clandon Park.
The sun has inspired people throughout history as a symbol of life, light and renewal. Each centimetre of Helios represents 2000 kilometres of the sun’s surface. It features detailed sunspots and the origins of real solar flares, while the immersive soundtrack includes NASA recordings to take you even closer to the sun.
The seven-metre spherical artwork will be displayed in the Saloon at Clandon Park.
Enhance your experience with a VIP access ticket on 10 September at 5pm or 6.30pm. Spend 45 minutes with Helios and take part in a live-streamed conversation with the artist, Luke Jerram. Tickets cost £20 each and there are just 20 tickets available in each time slot. Numbers are restricted for a safe experience so booking is essential.
There is a small car park and parking is free. Clandon is still a building site, so PPE (hard hat, high-vis jacket, gloves and glasses) will be provided and must be worn at all times whilst inside the house and site. There are no exceptions to this.
