Water Display Screen
The project
We returned to Henham Park’s magical fields for the Latitude Festival to design and install the festival’s iconic water display screen — a spectacle that has been evolving and wowing audiences for the last eighteen years.
The challenge
The goal was to create an engaging, visually striking show that could captivate festival-goers as they crossed ‘Writers Bridge’, the key thoroughfare connecting the main camping areas with the heart of the festival site. The installation needed to work within the constraints of a floating structure on Henham Park Lake, be visible and compelling in a busy festival environment, and bring a fresh twist to a long-running tradition.
The solution
We delivered a vibrant multimedia experience using a Christie 2000 Lumen projector and MadMapper software to seamlessly transition between abstract animations, kaleidoscopic colour sequences, and projection-mapped quotes. The visuals played out on a floating platform in the centre of the lake, creating a striking focal point for visitors. Adding a playful touch, the famous Latitude painted sheep appeared in the show for a moment of humour.
The impact
The installation once again became a key talking point of the festival, enchanting and delighting audiences both day and night. By blending artistry, technology, and a touch of comedy, we reinforced the festival’s reputation for immersive and unexpected experiences — keeping the tradition alive while evolving the spectacle for returning guests.
What they said
It has been fantastic working alongside LCI Productions to curate one of the visual centre points to our evenings at Henham Park.
The water projections have become a real fan favourite, acting as a cross-section of music and arts for our audience making their way via the Sunrise Bridge.”
