Luke Jerram’s moon artwork to illuminate Bridgwater Docks

The artwork will be unveiled with the help of live music from local band Tongues of Fire.

It will be illuminated on the water between 17:30 and 20:30 every evening from 15 October until 3 November, with the schedule across the moon’s three-week stay including a night market, planetarium shows for families and a special carnival event.

Mr Jerram, who lives in Bristol, said he hopes Fallen Moon can help the kick-start the regeneration of Bridgwater Docks.

“I understand quite a lot of money is being spent. Here in Bristol, the docks are a huge part of life and it draws in a lot of tourism,” he said.

“It seems the docks in Bridgwater are going to be restored and it should help provide all sorts of work and opportunities and a cultural asset for the town to enjoy.”
