Crossings - Gloucester Rocks!

 Coming to the Gloucester Docks this summer is an immersive art installation from artist Luke Jerram. 

Crossings will is hosted by the Canal & River Trust at the National Waterways Museum Gloucester, 9th August - 3rd September 2023.

You will have the opportunity to row out in the Gloucester Docks in one of several brightly decorated boats and be taken on an audio journey, transported to another life.

Immerse yourself in the world of the story tellers through 30-minute audio stories. The live sounds of the rowing boats and the docks will blend with the recorded audio, to help create a truly engaging and immersive experience.

Crossings was created by Luke Jerram in collaboration with BBC Radio 4 producer Julian May. Luke Jerram’s multidisciplinary practice involves the creation of sculptures, installations and live arts projects. In 2022 alone he had 104 exhibitions in 25 different countries, visited by more than 2 million people. His work in Gloucester in recent years has included Museum of the Moon and Gaia at Gloucester Cathedral and Of Earth And Sky at locations across the city.

It is supported by Arts Council England and Gloucester City Council and was commissioned by Compton Verney Art Gallery & Park.

Boats will cost £10 for 1 hour and will carry a family of 4 or up to 3 adults.

Ticket booking will open soon.
