A GIANT walk-in inflatable is touring North Yorkshire towns this week.

The ColourDome appeared in Applegarth, Northallerton, yesterday.

The transparent dome allows visitors to walk around inside, completely surrounded by colour. Music is provided inside by flute and French horn players.

Organiser Simon Desorgher said: "We find people stay inside for ages, soaking up the colour and listening to the music.

"It's like you are inside a painting instead of just looking at it."

The touring dome is an extension of the Colourscape Music Festival, being held at Rowntree Park, in York, all this week.

It will appear near Clifford's Tower, in York, today.
