Experience the magic of The Whilers by Air Giants on Cornhill!

Prepare to be mesmerised as The Whilers, by the innovative creative tech studio Air Giants, interact with the crowd and each other. These larger-than-life, otherworldly glowing creatures are on a mysterious journey into the unknown, pausing only briefly in Lincoln to engage with passersby and create an awe-inspiring, immersive experience.

The Whilers are unlike anything you've seen before—part sloth, part spirit, part dragon. Standing at an incredible 3 meters tall and powered by advanced robotic technology, their expressive movements allow them to interact with audiences, their surroundings, and each other through sound and movement.

Their luminescence, visible from wide and far, enhances the illusion of breath and life, making them appear almost dreamlike. As they share an otherworldly conversation and song, you'll be transported into their magical world.

This must-see experience beautifully combines art and technology, promising an unforgettable encounter.
