Luke Jerram's Helios at Clandon Park - Heritage Open Day
Experience Helios, a new sculpture of the sun by artist Luke Jerram, at Clandon Park this September.
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.
A unique opportunity to experience the awe-inspiring Helios at Clandon for free on 12-14 September. Just 20 tickets will be available in each 30-minute timeslot available between midday – 3.30pm and 4.30pm – 8pm. 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.
Booking is essential as numbers are restricted for a safe experience. Visitors who arrive without pre-booked tickets will not be admitted.
