What’s more there’s tons more FREE stuff to do there, too. You can go in the gorgeous Luminarium, for instance, the world’s biggest, most beautiful blow up sculpture. While you’re there listen to the soothing sounds of schoolchildrens’
Walking Poetry – all set to the chilled sounds of Sound Dog.

Tune in your ears to some great musical collaborations – like DJs Furry, Manga, Shaanti Soundsystem, The Jazz Fools, Scratch&Folk and the wonderful Bollywood Beats.

Try out barmy bikes with Pedal Express and Freewheel – or bring yours and get it serviced for free.

Take part in the great public transport treasure hunt - with fabulous prizes for some lucky winners.

Drop into the Creative Workshops – for young, old and everyone in between – and take home your own art. Help make a maze, decorate the trees, or pop in the TRUTH caravan – if you dare – to find out where you’re going on your own life’s journey.

Give your own personal transport system some TLC with FREE reflexology, head massage or a pedicure, then maybe you’ll want to join in the Big Foot parade with local schoolchildren and their banners. Or go on a little trip with The Ramblers.

The Big Day Out is a rollercoaster ride through transport, the environment and all points in between. And, of course, the city’s transport experts will be there to answer all your questions.

Come and play at The Big Day Out. Meander through our world market, try out fabulous food – or bring a picnic and stay all day!
