The People's Tower

Saturday 28th May 2016 — Monday 30th May 2016, Market Place, Newbury

FREE

Join acclaimed French artist Olivier Grossetête and his team to create a giant cardboard replica of Donnington Castle in Newbury's town centre on Sunday 29 May. Assembled without cranes or machines, and with only human power and cardboard boxes galore, this incredible temporary castle will also be the focus of a dramatic and hugely enjoyable demolition the following day - accompanied by music from multi-award-winning progressive brass band Perhaps Contraption.

Olivier can only create this amazing structure with your help. Join the team that builds this incredible structure in a series of fun workshops, help with construction in Market Place on the Sunday or just come along to watch the dramatic rise and fall of the tower.
