In this enchanted landscape, visitors took on an important mission: helping our historian to solve the mysteries of Damart Mill. They passed through secret doors, a fairy forest and even went underwater on their quest – and met some special guests along the way.

Dreamed up by artist Steve Wintercroft, produced by Yorkshire’s very own ARCADE and built entirely from recycled and repurposed materials, Grue is named after an ancient word for ‘shiver’ – but don’t worry about the cold! People were able to warm up with a drink and a snack, and take part in special crafting activities on site.
The installation features 13 soundscapes / sound cues, designed to match the incredible visuals and beautiful sets. Careful consideration was given to ensure these diverse compositions share a similar scale and key, creating a harmonious soundscape that minimises unwanted dissonance from spill between rooms.
