Landsec Partners with Holovis to Launch ApolloDomes

The partnership with Holovis will bring immersive entertainment to UK shopping destinations, enhancing visitor experiences with engaging and memorable attractions for all ages.

Landsec has partnered with Holovis to launch ApolloDomes, pitched as the UK’s first large-scale immersive projection domes, at retail destinations. 

The 19-metre indoor domes use AV technology. The experiences have been developed by Holovis’ creative team, whose previous projects include work for Alton Towers, SeaWorld, Yas Island and LEGOLAND New York. 

To help bring ApolloDomes to life, Mark Hurry has recently joined as Producer for Holovis – with his credits including amazing immersive theatrical productions, including Immersive Peaky Blinders, Doctor Who – Time Fracture and The Great Gatsby – Immersive Experience.

Debuting with two experiences for Halloween and Christmas, Gunwharf Quays in Portsmouth will invite shoppers to step into a new reality filled with storytelling and interactive elements. Landsec and Holovis plan to expand their partnership over the coming year.
