INTO THE PARK
2026
Rossington Pickle Park

Denaby Memorial / Flower Park
Sun 16 Aug
This year we popped up in Rossington (Pickle Park) and Denaby (Memorial/Flower Park) and brought Architects of Air’s Luminarium, by Alan Parkinson to both parks. Four giant festival flags designed by Andy Welland and hand stitched by Shona Watt were exhibited as part of our collaboration with Heritage Doncaster to celebrate St. Leger’s 250th Anniversary. Displayed alongside this were the beautiful sashes designed by the local communities in Rossington and Denaby in workshops led by Karen Hall and Andy Welland. You can find out more here.
The Lumini at Into the Park
A Luminarium is a sculpture people enter to be moved to a sense of wonder at the beauty of light and colour. A dazzling maze of winding paths and soaring domes where natural forms, Islamic architecture, Archimedean solids and Gothic cathedrals meld into an inspiring mix of design and engineering.
