A global first opened at Lourensford Wine Estate in Somerset West last Wednesday (1 November) for a limited period of time. The unprecedented attraction, EARTHBOX is a truly unique immersive installation designed to offer the public an engaging journey into the earth. A blend of nature, engineering, history and imagination, EARTHBOX takes visitors 5 m below the surface of the ground by way of a gently curved ramp that leads into a 24 m-long excavated chamber. Within the dimly lit chamber they are offered a moving experience and another perspective on life by being brought into contact with raw earth walls dating back through millions of years to a time well before the dawn of humanity. While EARTHBOX is an attraction in its own right it will also be activated as a venue available for private hire and intriguing events. EARTHBOX’s creators, The Dream Commission, envisioned the installation as a place of reflection, an escape from the hussle and bustle. Tickets for EARTHBOX range between R100 and R250, and all tickets must be booked online at https://earthbox.co.za/. For more information visit https://earthbox.co.za.Photo: EARTHBOX
