Beneath the Waves: A Festive Light & Sound Experience
Beneath The Waves, an amazing light and sound installation with hundreds of suspended orbs transforming the space into a luminous seascape.
Internationally renowned Squidsoup present Beneath The Waves, a spectacular light and sound installation from 27 November to 4 January 2026, aboard the historic Brunel's SS Great Britain.
Descend into the historic dry dock and immerse yourself in an underwater sensory experience: Hundreds of suspended orbs transform the space into a luminous seascape, tracing the SS Great Britain’s voyage from the icy depths of northern waters to the warm, golden shimmer of distant shores.
As you wander beneath the hull, waves of colour and sound wash over you – muffled echoes from the surface world mingle with the rhythms of the sea, voices of crew and passengers drift through the space, and the distant sounds of far-flung lands emerge as the journey unfolds.
This mesmerising installation captures the wonder of maritime exploration and the transformative power of embarking into the unknown – a celebration of adventure, discovery and imagination beneath the waves.
This installation is free with admission. Tickets are not just for Christmas – your admission will include unlimited returns for a whole year!
