Wake the Tiger

The creators of the music festival Boomtown, are excited to announce Wake The Tiger presents the world’s first Amazement Park®. Wake The Tiger is a brand new, fantastical experience coming to Bristol this summer. The brainchild of a collection of creatives, it encompasses interactive environments and daring new experiences at the site in St Phillips, Bristol. Opening in Summer 2022, the Amazement Park® is an interactive immersive art experience which provides an exciting alternative to the traditional art gallery.

Visitors will step through the secret portal into the amazing world of Meridia; a multilayered maze of immersive environments, secret passageways, hidden forests, temples, ice caves and mesmerising wonders. Wake The Tiger will encourage visitors of all ages to leave no corner unturned, as they discover the stories and secrets of the four great Guilds in Meridia, and how they uncover the answers to their world’s greatest problems. Graham MacVoy, Founder and Managing Director of Wake The Tiger, explains: “This project is two years in the making and the result of decades of creative input from some of the best technologists, story-tellers and creative minds working across festivals and attractions in the UK. We are starting this new movement in our spiritual home of Bristol and can’t wait to be open this summer.”

Bristol was seen as the perfect place for the project, as a booming city, within easy reach of London, the Midlands, Cardiff and with two of the UK’s biggest international universities situated in the city. Additionally the city welcomes over 50% of all visitor trips in the South West, with over 16m visits in 2019. Wake The Tiger is perfectly positioned to capture the imagination of this significant visitor economy - especially as tourism in Britain is growing and predicted to be worth over £257 billion by 2025.

The Wake the Tiger team has an exemplary track record of creating and delivering incredible experiences, masterminding the sustained growth and success of the internationally-renowned Boomtown Festival, which has grown from 1,500 attendees to 70,000 in 10 years.
