Join Ziggy the Astronaut as he goes on a Planet Parade around the city of Leicester.
The Planet Parade turns Leicester into a walkable solar system with planets at various locations created by around 250 schoolchildren and artists.
Each planet is represented by bold artworks installed at various Leicester locations from the Highcross and Haymarket shopping centres to the Cathedral, Jewry Wall Museum, and Leicester Museum on New Walk.
We first join Ziggy as he enters the Highcross, where he finds Mercury represented, and so begins his mission across space and Leicester to find all the planets.
His mission was filmed over several months between 30th March and 31st May and took in many of Leicester’s known locations and landmarks.
After floating around the city, Ziggy finds his zig-zaggy way to the centre of the Solar System, finding the Sun at the base of the iconic rocket tower at the National Space Centre.
