Officials said today's footfall exceeded 6,000 and there are now just three days left to view the giant inflatable art installation, which was created using high definition lunar imagery from NASA.

Chapter clerk Simon Lace earlier said: "The feedback is amazing, absolutely fantastic.

"Everyone I have spoken to has said how wonderful it is.”

Visitors were also able to take part in a crazy golf course in the summer, which saw over 29,000 visit.
