Kaleidesco­pe of colour to explore

AN EXTRAORDIN­ARY TREAT FOR THE EYES AND EARS COMES TO CLAPHAM COMMON THIS MONTH

- By ELLIE MCKINNELL ellie.mckinnell@reachplc.com @ellie_grace_mck

IF you want to feel like you’re walking inside a rainbow you’re going to want to head to South London later this month.

Whether you’re a parent trying to get the kids out the house or an Instagram-obsessed millennial, this is the perfect popup to try out this September.

Colourscap­e, an enormous inflatable maze filled with psychedeli­c colours, will be in Clapham Common between September 14 and 22.

The aesthetic treat allows you to wander through almost 100 interlocki­ng egg-shaped segments, some are tiny while others are almost like a cathedral.

It really has to be seen to be believed.

Get lost in a labyrinth of colour

To add to the sensory overload, there will also be musical performers marching through the winding tunnels and occasional­ly stopping in the central arena (if you ever get there).

If you want a quieter time go during the week.

The pop-up was a hit when it visited Wembley in May, so it will no doubt be popular again.

We’d advise getting there early in the day, towards the beginning of the pop-up (before anyone else hears about it)!

Location: Clapham Common, near the Long Pond boating lake and The Windmill pub

Opening hours: 1pm to 6pm on weekends. Noon to 1pm on weekdays, September 14 to 22

Prices: £11 for adults, £5 for children. (Or £5 and £2 respective­ly if you go during the weekday lunchtime slots – but there won’t be any music!)

Visit: www.eyemusic.org.uk/ whatsoneve­nts/events/event8. html – tickets are available on the door only
