Beneath The Waves – a sensory light and sound experience by Squidsoup.

This Christmas, dive into a dazzling underwater world in the historic dry dock. Hundreds of glowing orbs light your way, tracing the SS Great Britain’s journey from icy seas to sunlit shores. Wander beneath the hull as waves of colour, sound and distant voices surround you, evoking the spirit of adventure and discovery. Created by Squidsoup, renowned for their immersive light installations worldwide. A magical festive escape beneath the waves!
