This summer, a curious adventure is landing in Croydon.

Part art studio, part community hub, part roaming spacecraft; The Curiosity Rover is on a mission to discover what creativity looks like here on Earth. Named after the historic Mars Rover and dispatched by Creative Quests, it’s here to help you see Croydon through fresh eyes.

Your mission starts here…

Choose from a series of imaginative creative challenges, designed to help you explore, connect, and tell your story. Some take minutes. Others lead you deeper into Croydon’s streets.

Ready to step off autopilot and into adventure?
