Immerse yourself in the magical world of Rhubarb with Rebarbara - a dazzling psychedelic projection artwork from Fényszóró Visual (Lightspray Visual).

Children can get crafty with rhubarb themed activities - make a rhubarb crown and grab a snap in front of the selfie station, or why not make a kaleidoscope and explore the magical rhubarb projection in more detail?
