Common questions
Anything else — just askWhat is Terraform?
Terraform is a UK light art studio creating large-scale, site-specific light installations for festivals, events and galleries. Based in Salisbury, Wiltshire, we design, build and install illuminated structures — from full-scale interactive artworks to stage centrepieces — and work across the UK and internationally.
Can I commission a light installation?
Yes. We create bespoke light installations for festivals, corporate launches, galleries and private hire. Tell us the space, the date and what you want people to feel, and we design around it. Call 07500 524430 or email hello@terraform.events to talk it through.
Can we hire an existing installation?
Yes. Alongside bespoke commissions, several of our existing light artworks tour and are available to hire, Cubehenge among them. Hiring an existing piece is usually quicker to arrange and more predictable on budget than a new build, and each work is reconfigured to suit the site it lands in.
How far ahead do we need to book?
Most projects run four to eight weeks from confirmed brief to install. Complex bespoke builds, and dates in peak festival season, benefit from longer. If you are working to a tighter deadline it is still worth asking — hiring an existing touring work is often possible at shorter notice than commissioning a new one.
What are your installations made from?
We build large-scale illuminated structures using high-powered, energy-efficient LEDs and, where possible, reclaimed and repurposed materials. Working this way keeps the pieces reconfigurable, so an installation can be adapted to the shape and scale of each new site rather than rebuilt from scratch.
What is Cubehenge?
Cubehenge is a full-scale interactive light-art reimagining of Stonehenge, built from illuminated IBC (intermediate bulk container) cubes. Shown at Glastonbury Festival, it also served as a DJ stage and became a gathering point for festival-goers. It tours, and is available to hire.
What events and venues do you work with?
Music and light festivals, corporate events and openings, galleries, and private hire. Past work includes Glastonbury Festival, Creamfields, London Lumiere and Kings College Cambridge. We work at every scale, from a single gallery piece to a main-arena festival build.
Do you work indoors as well as outdoors?
Both. Our installations are engineered for outdoor use — weatherproofed, and ballasted or anchored to suit the ground conditions — which means they also work indoors in galleries, venues and event spaces. Wind loading and fixing methods are assessed per site as part of the structural sign-off.
What do you need from a site?
Power requirements are specified per installation, because they vary with the scale and configuration of the build; you get a full spec once the design is agreed. Delivery access and the rigging or ballast plan are confirmed at the same stage. Depending on the size of the build we either handle install and de-rig entirely, or work alongside your site crew.
Do you provide RAMS, insurance and structural calculations?
Yes. Risk assessments and method statements (RAMS), £10 million public liability insurance and structural calculations are supplied as standard for every installation. If your venue or event has its own documentation requirements or sign-off process, send them over early and we will work to them.
Where are you based?
We are based in Salisbury, Wiltshire, and install across the UK and internationally.
