Fields of light: an arty Somerset glampsite with glowing gardens and a space pod

Thousands of tiny spheres of light are swaying in a midsummer night’s breeze. They resemble flowers: bright little bulbs on slender stems. Some change colour in waves, from soft pink to rich purple to deep blue. Others are fixed, grouped together in a fiery red sea or a shimmering emerald pool.

This is Field of Light at Marston Park, an installation by artist Bruce Munro at a glamping site in Somerset. Munro is perhaps best known for his permanent light display at Uluru in Australia; some of his other illuminations can be found in the US, Japan and South Korea. But Marston Park, which is not far from the artist’s home in Long Knoll, Wiltshire, boasts his first fully immersive work: visitors can sleep among the spheres.
