AN INFLATABLE replica of world-famous Stonehenge will be in Greenwich for a weekend in July.
The bouncy version of the prehistoric monument has been created by Turner Prize-winning artist Jeremy Deller and has just started a tour that will take it to twenty-five locations across the UK.
The life-sized piece of work, called Sacrilege, will make its first appearance in the capital at Central Park, off West Parkside, on the Greenwich Peninsula on July 21-22 and is free to bounce on.
Sacrilege is being presented by the Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, and the London 2012 Festival. Mr Johnson commented:
“You don’t have to be a specialist in ancient British history or an acolyte of the summer solstice ritual to be aware of the unending fascination that Stonehenge continues to inspire around the world.
“Jeremy Deller’s Sacrilege is a wonderfully witty, quite literal leap into that history and a fantastic example of the irreverence that are hallmarks of our great British humour and our incomparable artists.”
