Art In The Countryside - Connecting Light On Hadrians Wall

If you're lucky enough to be anywhere near Hadrians Wall this coming weekend (Fri 31 Aug & Sat 1 Sep) then keep a look out for an impressive and very unique art installation which will be taking place all along the wall as part of the London 2012 Festival.

On the Friday and Saturday nights, between 8pm and 11pm, some 400 tethered weather balloons - each 6ft in diameter - will be lit by internal LED lights creating a spectacular new art installation called Connecting Light, which will become 'a line of pulsating colours as messages are sent to and along Hadrians Wall.'

Apparently some of the best places to enjoy this spectacle are at the recommended viewing locations between Wallsend and Bowness on Solway.

If you can't see it in person then head online to view it digitally, for more details go to www.hadrian-wall.org/london2012 or  go to Twitter and follow @ConnectingLight
