Time for Enfield to get jumping on inflatable Stonehenge in Lee Valley Park

5:30pm Friday 10th August 2012 in News By Hermione Wright

A life-sized inflatable Stonehenge will grace the grounds of Lee Valley Park on Sunday.

The bouncy sculpture, called Sacrilege, will be in The Waterworks Nature Reserve for one day only as part of the London 2012 Festival and Glasgow International Festival of Visual Art.

People of all ages are welcome to visit – and jump all over, the massive sculpture for free.

The unusual sight has been designed by Turner Prize-winning artist Jeremy Deller and is travelling to 25 locations across the country as part of the London 2012 Festival.

Mr Deller said: “A lot of my work deals with history, and Sacrilege is no exception, this is a way to get reacquainted with ancient Britain with your shoes off.”

The London 2012 Festival and Glasgow International Festival of Visual Art are supported by Creative Scotland and Arts Council England.

London Mayor Boris Johnson said: “Jeremy Deller's Sacrilege is a wonderfully witty, quite literal leap into that history and a fantastic example of the irreverence that are hallmarks of our great British humour and our incomparable artists.

"I have no doubt it will be a great hit with Londoners as well as visitors to the capital."
