Soon Greenwich will be marking the most significant turning point of the modern age: the arrival of the new millennium. So it is only fitting that Greenwich should be the setting for the Dome, the centrepiece of the most spectacular and ambitious programme of millennium celebrations in the world.

This awesome construction, the largest of its kind in the world, is over one kilometre in circumference and covers over 80,000 square metres.

The Dome is supported by 43 miles of high-strength cable that holds up 100,000 square metres of fabric.

The translucent roof is 50 metres high at the centre and strong enough to support a jumbo jet.

The Dome could contain two Wembley Stadiums or the Eiffel Tower on its side. You could even fit the Great Pyramid of Giza inside it.

In fact, it will contain 14 vast themed zones, offering breathtaking attractions and exhibits on a scale that has never been seen before.

The Dome's central performance arena will be the setting for the Millennium Show - a spectacular live show which will be repeated up to six times a day, featuring great music, stunning visual effects and a cast of up to 200 performers.

The Dome will open your eyes to the astonishing possibilities that await us in the 21st century and beyond.

You can begin to imagine how we might work, rest and play, what our minds and bodies might achieve and what environment we might live in.
