Iron Island at Brunel's SS Great Britain
See event details

A event on Monday 23rd August. The event starts at 10:00.


This is a truly immersive story of the ship’s life at sea. Working with poet Saili Katebe and composer Joe Acheson, Limbic Cinema will transform the dry dock where the ship now lies into a huge digital projection theatre, filled with the energy of the world’s underwater oceans. For the first time in fifty years the sights, sounds and movement of a living sea will surround the ship’s hull.

Dive down to discover a moving experience of global migration, elemental power and true resilience.

Entry is included in your admission to Brunel’s SS Great Britain. Time slots are available to book now from 23 August to 19 September. https://www.ssgreatbritain.org/things-to-do/iron-island/
