The attraction in St Philips will see visitors ‘step through the secret portal into the amazing world of Meridia - ‘a multilayered maze of immersive environments, secret passageways, hidden forests, temples, ice caves and mesmerising wonders’.

With 27 distinct spaces within the experience, the art installations explore themes of connection and innovation, inspiration and discovery.
