FRAMELESS brings The Colour Monster to life with immersive experience

Families looking for something a little different this February half term can step inside the colourful world of The Colour Monster, as FRAMELESS launches a brand-new immersive experience inspired by the bestselling children’s book.

This February half term, London’s immersive art venue FRAMELESS is inviting families to explore emotions through colour, movement and sound, as The Colour Monster is transformed into an immersive experience for the very first time.

Created to celebrate the National Year of Reading and mark the book’s 10th anniversary, the experience takes Anna Llenas’ much-loved story off the page and into a calm, sensory environment designed for both children and adults. The result is a gentle, magical space where families can slow down, connect and talk about feelings together.

Hosted inside FRAMELESS’ Blank Canvas Gallery, the experience uses Anna Llenas’ distinctive collage-style illustrations to guide visitors through a series of beautifully designed emotional worlds.

Feelings including happiness, sadness, anger and calm are each given their own colour, atmosphere and moment, encouraging curiosity, reflection and conversation.

The immersive journey follows the familiar story of The Colour Monster, who begins feeling overwhelmed as his emotions become muddled together. With a little help, each feeling is separated into coloured jars, reinforcing the story’s reassuring message: all emotions are valid, and talking about them helps us understand them better.

For more than a decade, The Colour Monster has helped children around the world build emotional literacy and resilience, inspired by Llenas’ background in art therapy and her belief that wellbeing conversations should feel playful and accessible.

Families can experience The Colour Monster at FRAMELESS during daytime sessions from 13–22 February 2026, before it continues as part of FRAMELESS’ Parent & Toddler sessions from 23 February to 28 April 2026 (Monday–Thursday, term time, 11am–2.30pm).

Entry is included with any standard FRAMELESS ticket when the Blank Canvas Gallery is open to the public.
