To mark this weekend’s closure of SEE MONSTER, the lighting moment will follow the Grand Pier’s Fireworks at Sea event.
The fireworks begin at 8pm from Marine Parade.
However, you won’t be able to watch them from SEE MONSTER as the rig will be cleared between 7.30pm and 8.15pm.
Doors will then close at 9pm as usual.
SEE MONSTER is the 35-metre high, 450-tonne, retired North Sea offshore platform refurbished into a stunning art installation in Weston-super-Mare.
Its transformation has been an ambitious feat of design and engineering.
It aims to inspire global conversations about retired industrial structures and design-led solutions for a more sustainable future.
It closes to the public at 9pm on Sunday (20 November) so there is still time to visit this weekend if you haven’t already.
Free entry, no booking required.
Look on the SEEMonster website to check weather conditions and whether the viewing platform is open when you plan to visit.
If you can’t get to SEE MONSTER in person, a fully digital interactive 360o virtual tour of the installation is available on the website.
The virtual tour has been created with production company 3Deep, in partnership with New Substance. Specialist camera equipment was used to capture both aerial and ground based 360 photography of the structure.
There are layers of information and videos, showcasing the project’s concept and construction, along with virtual learning tools based around the various exhibits.
An audio tour and an immersive Weathering Together audio experience by artist Joseff Harris have also been created to enhance guests experience on and off the monster.
