Firelight Festival is the winter celebration you know and love in Docklands, with fiery installations, live music, pop-up foodie feasts and more over one epic weekend. This year includes the world premiere of a new immersive experience called Firelight Labyrinth.
What is Firelight Labyrinth?
This year as part of Firelight Festival, Marvel Stadium welcomes Firelight Labyrinth. Moving through three distinct rooms, this labyrinth of light tells a modern version of the mythology of Theseus and the Minotaur.
What is the story of Theseus and the Minotaur?
Theseus, a hero of Athens, ventures to Crete to slay the Minotaur, a half-man, half-bull monster kept in the labyrinth. Guided by Ariadne, daughter of King Minos, he unravels the maze with a red thread and defeats the Minotaur.
Using cutting-edge technology, dynamic audio, and an astonishing array of over 144,000 lights, Firelight Labyrinth leads visitors on the journey with Theseus, following his descent into the labyrinth and his ensuing battle with the Minotaur!
Who is the event suitable for?
Firelight Labyrinth offers enjoyment for various age groups! However, note that children under 12 must have adult supervision.
Exercise caution when purchasing tickets for individuals uncomfortable with immersive, high-volume experiences. Lighting sequences may feature flashing, flickering, patterned effects, and strobes. Smoke and haze effects may also be present in certain areas.
