Yesterday evening we went a long to our second Freedom Festival event. Earlier this week we went along to The Print Shop in preparation for the weekends events.

The opening of the Museum of the Moon in the Hull Minster was Thursday evening and so we thought going along to beat some of the crowd at the weekend would make it more special. It was worth it!

The moon is made with real NASA imagery and 1cm of this moon represents 5km of the real moon itself. I think that in itself drew us to look at the detail. Photos are hard to capture because it looks like a 2D moon but it is a sphere.

The three children were in awe of it and wanted plenty of photographs with the moon.

Even we couldn’t resist it…

We are planning to come back and see the moon lit up at night as well. If you are local to Hull then we recommend you stopping by to see this installation for the festival. Over the weekend you can go along to see the moon from 12pm until 10pm. The moon is staying a little longer then the festival, FreedomKj1964 informs me it’s the 15th September.

The Freedom Festival is on now until late Sunday 2nd September. This is our third year of attendance and our first year planning out what we go to see rather than walking around and bumping into everything.
