A circus crew in plain dress are climbing over a tall bamboo construction on a paved area outside of The Potteries Museum. The museum borders the performers on two sides, and a large audience are sitting on the other sides.

A performer dressed in pink trousers, scarf and coat and wearing sunglasses, is walking towards the right of the photo. Rows of people can be seen in the background sitting down and watching the performer walk past. The photo is taken in a city centre outside, with buildings in the background. It is a sunny day.

We are looking at the interior of a Luminarium, an inflatable structure with corridors and chambers bathed in coloured light. From this view we are standing in the intersection of two corridors that can both be seen down. The corridors are circular and oval in shape and undulate side to side as they progress. The foreground where we are is a soft peach colour, and you can see the colours morph and blend as your eye travels down the corridors into blues, pinks and reds with purple and green spotlights at points adding pattern. You can see the black silhouette of a lone figure walking down the end of corridor on the right.

Luminarium kicks off 10th anniversary celebrations of The Big Feast

The image is taken outside on a sunny day. A figure dressed in a colourful all in one outfit is pointing towards the camera, with arms outstretched smiling. They are walking along a low wall and behind them are other figures dressed in the similar colourful all in one outfits, some of whom are playing musical instruments.

A town centre square is lined with shops, trees and people. In the centre is a large wooden structure - a wheel that is about 15 feet tall. We are looking at it from a sideways view so that we see the thick rim but not the spokes. There are two performers around the wheel both in a white t-shirt and blue denim dungarees. One performer is on the ground holding the wheel, while the other is sitting on the top of the wheel waving to the audience.
