We’re excited to be starting the next stage of The Mirrorbox Journey
Beginning at the Royal Opera House in London on the 12th & 13th September, The Mirrorbox will travel to locations across the UK.
Every stop has been chosen by someone living with ME or Long Covid. Inside The Mirrorbox is a message they have left for the place they love but can no longer reach.
Visit the Mirrorbox and become part of a growing national artwork, connecting people across distance and building a collective portrait of the places we love, the lives we lead, and what it means to be absent from them.
Come and find The Mirrorbox
Royal Opera House, London
12–13 September 12-6pm
We would love to see you there. For information on travel and accessibility visit the Royal Opera House journey page on our website.

Follow and Join, from wherever you are
We have recently introduced digital postcards, giving you a new way to connect with someone who is absent from a place they love. Listen to the messages online and if the sender has given permission, you can reply with a postcard back.
The postcard made my heart sing. Knowing someone saw my message online is wonderful.
Follow us on social media as we document each visit.
