Once refurbished, the Market Hall will be a world-class space for digital, situated in the heart of historic Devonport.
Building on Devonport’s incredible heritage of innovation and exploration, the Market Hall will be home to an awe-inspiring immersive dome as well as providing space for people to learn, work, develop new ideas and have fun!
The 15m diameter immersive dome – the first of its kind in western Europe – will allow you to explore a virtual world, without the need for a VR headset, opening up a world of immersive experiences.
The project is led by local social enterprise, Real Ideas, in partnership with Plymouth City Council, the Institute of Digital Arts and Technology (i-DAT at University of Plymouth), City College Plymouth and Devonport High School for Boys.
In addition to providing work space, lab and teaching spaces for the partners, the Market Hall will also offer space for events and meetings, a range of education programmes and a digital arts visitor centre.
Illuminate is a spectacular display of light-based art installations, interactive displays and projections based in Plymouth.
