Imber: You Walk Through

Salisbury International Arts Festival 2019

​Imber. 7 miles from any town. From dusty roads to floods and fires. From medieval church graffiti to a curlew’s eye view of tanks crossing. Slip on your headphones and listen. You walk on bones and earth, flint and chalk. You hear a little girl playing, a conversation in the pub; a soldier waiting in old walls for an exercise to begin.

Once open land, now a close combat fighting training ground, Imber is open to the public for a limited number of days each year. This immersive experience offers a unique opportunity to encounter Salisbury Plain’s most intriguing site.

Imber: You Walk Through binaural audio and film experience premiered at Salisbury International Arts Festival 2019. 

The site-specific binaural audio experience on site at Imber Village, Salisbury Plain, is available during Imber St Giles Church open days. For all information, including opening times and access, please visit: http://www.imberchurch.org.uk/events.html
