Colourscape is a collection of large inflatable sculptures which are usually found in Britain but it has also appeared in other countries (e.g. Australia, Austria, Belgium and Germany)
Colourcape was originally called the Netelfold Festival Trust and was started in 1988 by Simon Desorgher and Lawrence Casserley. It started out as a contemporary music festival; the aim was to create a new festival south of the river and the organisers chose Nettlefold Hall in Lambeth, London as the venue.
In 1989 the festival directors (Simon Desorgher and Lawrence Casserley) started a collaboration with Cwmni Colourscape (Peter Jones and Lynne Dickens). In 1995, with the Festival Trustees encouragement, they commissioned a walk-in sculpture made of colour, and so the Colourscape Music Festival was born.
Every year since then Colourscape has arrived on Clapham Common and in 2004 celebrated its 10th anniversary. To celebrate this, instead of using Festival 1 (the structure that is used there every year), they chose to display three separate structures (Festival 2, Mirror Islands 1 and one other which was created specially).
As well as Clapham, Colourscape Music Festival also put on shows at many other locations across the UK, for example in Liverpool and York.
