One of the highlights of the Rocket Round Leicester art trail has been Moondance, a giant juke box shaped sculpture featuring the names of space-related songs. Organised by local charity LOROS Hospice, together with leading art event producers Wild in Art, Moondance is just one of 40 giant Rockets which are weaving their way across the city this summer.
