“Helios has attracted huge crowds on its tour of the UK, so is sure to bring a stream of visitors into the town centre during its visit to Goole.”
The installation measures 19ft (6m) in diameter and is internally lit.
The visit has been secured with the help of funding from Arts Council England.
The Goole 2026 Bicentenary Group, external, made up of East Riding of Yorkshire Council and community partners, has planned a programme of Around the Sun events during the time Helios is on display.
It includes an inflatable dome at Junction Goole, which will allow people to explore the solar system, and a concert bringing together classical music and electronic sounds using recordings from NASA.
The artwork can be seen during Goole Market Hall’s opening hours.
