WITH BRIGHOUSE & RASTRICK BAND
Sunday 6th November 2022

Mars in Morecambe
Morecambe Town Council brought an out-of-this-world experience to Morecambe in November 2022,
welcoming Luke Jerram’s widely celebrated Mars installation.
10th-28th November 2022
Measuring seven metres in diameter, visitors were immersed into space with this thought-provoking planet as it revolved in the centre of one of Morecambe’s most prominent landmarks, the Winter Gardens. The artwork captured the planet in forensic detail using NASA imagery of the Martian surface. At an approximate scale of 1:1million, each centimetre of the internally lit spherical replica represents 10 kilometres of the surface of Mars – with every valley, crater, volcano and mountain laid bare for spectators to explore.
The installation brought a fusion of Mars imagery, light and a surround-sound composition created by BAFTA and Ivor Novello award-winning composer Dan Jones, resulting in an unforgettable, mesmerising experience for all the family.
The visit also saw Morecambe Town Council organise a range of events for visitors to enjoy throughout the three weeks, including musical performances beneath the artwork itself, a lecture about the planet Mars from Professor Jim Wild of Lancaster University, and artist days where visitors had an opportunity to paint the installation and more. A photography competition, and activities for kids to enjoy were also held as part of the exhibition.
A quiet hour every day – between 4 pm and 5 pm – was also held to support visitors with conditions such as autism, dementia, and ADHD.
