One headed human or fifty-foot-nineteen-headed flying squid? All are welcome here - move to Blarnet now!

We’re thrilled to unveil Blarnet, a town created for all species (supernatural and natural-natural alike). At this immersive exhibition you can explore, hear and see this installation, and decide if this is the kind of place you’d like to live. You can even add a house of your own. 

 Blarnet has it all: UFO grocery delivery, a Respawn Centre, a Memory Deposit Bank, a giant Snowman. There’s even a place where there’s no WIFI. And a KFC! 

 Not only that, but Blarnet is currently taking applications for new residents! Come and meet your potential new neighbours: Ski-Slope (a 10 legged, leaf-eating, beach-dwelling octopus), Timmy the Turtle (bird head, multiple arms) and The Dog (terrifying… avoid at all cost). 

Blarnet was created by expert creative urban planners at Hyde School, Orion School and Northgate School and The New Ancient Old Blarnet New Town Urban Planning Committee (GeoTone CIC and Andrew T Henderson).
