Welcome to Lunashire – Find out more
Welcome to Lunashire
Welcome to Lunashire is a VR exhibition that immerses you in the vibrant worlds of 1960s British youth culture, optimistic futurism, and the thrill of the space race.
You start in a dreary 1950s living room, complete with TV and nostalgic paraphernalia. Here, you’re handed an unusual brochure – a virtual reality tourism film like no other.
Put on a VR headset, and you’re transported to Lunashire – a Lancashire-inspired resort on the Moon. Narrated by a charismatic transatlantic guide, you’re sold on the dream of a “Butlins”-style resort with job opportunities from the Ditchburn Moon Department, a jukebox factory which has been brick by brick transported from Lytham St Annes to the moon.
But Lunashire isn’t all work; it’s a utopia offering everything from moon pod mansions and Space Vespas to late-night bars showcasing the latest off-earth dance crazes.
So, what are you waiting for? Join the intergalactic family on Lunashire!
