SWING

A giant yellow swing
Tasmania's statewide arts festival, Ten Days on the Island 2025 program. SWING is big, beautiful, joyous and free. It’s made for adults (and everyone else) to regain their childhood selves through a celebration of play. It’s a giant, yellow swing – a beautifully engineered steel structure, nine metres tall. No matter who you are, you are going to want to ride it! Helpers assist you onto the seat, ensuring your safety and calling your name to the crowd. Once secure, you’re pulled back and wheeee! You’re in the air, pushed higher and higher. Your six-year-old body memory kicks-in, you lean back, stretch out your legs and you are flying. This joyful and exhilarating free event is as fun to watch as it is to participate in. Creator Ian Pidd’s aim is to make public art accessible and inviting so SWING is also wheelchair accessible, offering thrilling experiences for wheelchair users with specific sessions and adaptable platforms. Don’t miss SWING – it transforms everyone into happy humans! ‘Oh my goodness! That was pure bliss! Please, please can I go again?’ NICOLE BEYER (AGED 56) SWING PARTICIPANT
