Cast Light

Jacobs Wells Baths presents ‘Cast Light’ by Squidsoup

An immersive light and sound experience in a repurposed Victorian swimming baths.

Celebrated as one of the world’s most pioneering light, sound, and tech-based artists, Squidsoup bring their newest immersive installation to Bristol, where it will light up the iconic Pump Room at Jacobs Wells Baths.

For one weekend only, this revitalised heritage landmark plays host to an evolving light and sound experience designed for small groups and personal encounters.

• Sat 18 Jul: 12pm-8pm
• Sun 19 Jul: 12pm-8pm

This is one of a handful of events taking place at the site during its extensive restoration, ahead of a major reopening in 2029 as one of the South West’s most radical cultural spaces and a centre of citizen-powered arts for the region.

Sited in The Pump Room, the original beating heart of the baths where furnace boilers heated natural spring waters, this is an audience-led, drop-in experience designed for small groups to move through the space over time, inviting a personal and reflective encounter with the artwork and the building.

Curated by Trinity Community Arts as part of it’s ‘Art of the Possible series’ at Jacobs Wells Baths, this event is proudly presented as part of Bristol Harbour Festival’s Fringe programme.

Select slots will feature a live dance performance.
