A colourful new immersive art experience is heading to Salford, in what will be a UK art exclusive. After three successful events in Paris, the Colors Festival is heading to a huge site on Regent Retail Park.
The exhibition - which is a co-production between Fever and Colors Festival - plunges visitors into an "artistic universe of colour, creativity and diversity". The exhibition is making its UK debut in Manchester fresh from Paris, before it heads to London.
Tickets are on sale now for the event, which opens to the public on May 19 and runs until June 5, with time slots spaced through the days from 10am to 7pm.

The exhibition will see artwork from 30 established and emerging artists from all over the world on display across a 800m² space. Visitors can expect to see an array of street graffiti, eye-popping art, inspiring illustrations and vibrant photography as an eclectic mix of artistic styles and mediums collide.
Organisers say there will also be opportunities to interact with select artworks for a "truly immersive experience". Artists exhibiting will include Manchester favourites Qubek and Ethan Lemon alongside artists from across the world.
Publicity for the event says: "Despite all of the artists having their own unique style, they all share a common goal to transport visitors into a vivid and visual world of inspiring art.
"All of the artworks will be split into areas of vivid colour featuring red, pink, blue and ultraviolet, with the red section dedicated to local artists. More details on all the artists can be found on the Colors Festival website here."
Fever is the company behind immersive art event Van Gogh: The Immersive Experience, and also ran the Harry Potter Forbidden Forest event at Arley Hall.
Sana Ali Aamir, General Manager for UK at Fever said: "As the colours of spring pop all around us, there is no better time to launch this incredible exhibition dedicated to a world of colour and creativity. We hope the fascinating and thought-provoking artistry will leave visitors inspired and put a colourful spring in their step."
The event is suitable for adults and children, with the duration of the exhibition taking approximately an hour to walk through.
