A new immersive bubble experience is coming to Manchester for the first time.

Inviting visitors to ‘step into a joyful, dreamlike world where bubbles take centre stage’, the Bubble Planet Experience will open at Depot Mayfield in February, ahead of the half term.

Following runs in 10 cities, including New York, Los Angeles, Milan and London, the venue – a former railway depot transformed into a vibrant hub for arts, entertainment, and large-scale experiences – is said to be ‘a fitting home’ for the experience, which is co-produced by family entertainment producer Exhibition Hub alongside events promoter and ticket provider Fever.

Those behind the experience say visitors will be ‘immersed in a bubbly universe where colours, lights, textures and illusions blend seamlessly’.

From giant balloons to floating soap bubbles, each space is said to ‘offer a new perspective, encouraging exploration and playful discovery’. Designed to engage all the senses, Bubble Planet promises to transform ‘imagination into a tangible, interactive adventure’.

The event will feature 10 themed rooms guiding guests through ‘surreal landscapes that blur the boundaries between dream and reality’. The bubbles featured are mostly balls and balloons as opposed to actual bubbles, with highlights set to include:

  • The Bubble Ocean – ‘a vast expanse of bubbles designed to evoke calm and serenity’
  • The Infinity Room – ‘where mirrors and shifting lights create the illusion of endless space’
  • Underwater Bubbles – which ‘transports visitors into a hypnotic aquatic world, recreating the magic and mystery of deep-sea exploration’

It’s billed as ‘suitable for all ages’ – families, couples, groups of friends and everyone in between – and children under two visit free of charge. Younger visitors can unleash their creativity in the Bubble Dome, a play area designed for hands-on fun, whilst tech fans are promised ‘an exhilarating virtual reality journey that adds an extra layer of adventure to the experience’.

Hamza El Azhar, CEO of Exhibition Hub, said: “We are delighted to be bringing Bubble Planet to Manchester for the very first time alongside the team at Fever, and to be part of a city with such a strong and celebrated cultural identity. We look forward to welcoming everyone to experience a joyful, immersive adventure that sparks curiosity and wonder for all ages.”
