Sacrilege is a life-sized inflatable replica of Stonehenge for people to bounce on, by Turner Prize-winning artist Jeremy Deller.
You can catch this large-scale interactive artwork at the WE PLAY Expo - a whole weekend of unmissable free events celebrating our region’s unique contribution to London 2012. Everyone’s invited to join the party in Preston 7 – 9 September.
Pictures just do not do this justice, it is stunning in size and to look at. Unfortunately I didnt get chance to have a bounce; but did see adults beaming and messing about like kids on there, and kids doing somersaults and playing tig... all in all a great event

Sadly the park was full so we only got to see bits from a distance through the trees - sounded good ...
