Projection at York Castle Museum

See life sized videos of prisoners talking about their life in the cells at York Castle museum, brought to life by versatile Vivitek Qumi Q5 LED portable projectors. The prison cells at the York Castle Museum all have interesting tales to tell as many were home to a number of well-known inmates during the 18th century. Undoubtedly the most notorious of these was Richard ‘Dick’ Turpin the highwayman who was held captive in York Prison prior to his execution on York’s Knavesmire in 1739.

A sensory experience at Dunster Castle, Somerset

LED projectors create a spooky atmosphere with an exhibit documenting real life ghost stories told by the castle’s staff and residents, whilst other ghost tales are brought to life by the voice of actor Clive Swift – famous for his role as Richard Bucket in Keeping Up Appearances. Using a black light torch, visitors can also find hidden messages written in UV ink on a collection of photos and sketches, and a shadow theatre enhanced by a selection of props is a fun interactive for children.
