Lumiere

Artichoke Trust are looking for enthusiastic volunteers to take part in a unique immersive artwork called Iron Horse Junction, created by artist Hannah Fox in partnership with Durham Academy that will feature as part of Lumiere at Locomotion Railway Museum in Shildon. Set among the museum’s historic trains, Iron Horse Junction features a series of whimsical railway signal boxes that project light and shadow in a dynamic, atmospheric scene of sound and light. To bring this piece to life, we’re looking for enthusiastic volunteers to take on the role of railway engineers for the night—people who enjoy getting involved with interactive art and engaging audiences. We’re looking for volunteers for 1 - 2-hour slots, between the 13th to 15th November 2025. Volunteers can apply via the link below. https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=U12ioNFO_0yr1KNqkG0KcjBwzEdAUtNKuqL_xgBojI9UREdZQVgwSFlCUENIR1NGSDQ0WDNSUlBDVi4u
