While it took 35 years to complete the original magical and mysterious Stonehenge, it only takes a few minutes to set up this [bouncy Stonehenge design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/giant-inflatables) by Jeremy Deller. All you need is enough space, an air compressor and a bit of patience to rebuild one of Britain's greatest mysteries.

British artist Deller created the 20-foot-high inflatable to commemorate the Olympic Games, and also to show Britain's good sense of humor. He designed his modern version of Stonehenge to look like the [prehistoric monoliths](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drifting-stones) as much as possible.

The bouncy Stonehenge, called Sacrilege, was launched at Glasgow Green as part of the 18-day Glasgow International Festival of Visual Arts where it is one of the festival highlights. After the festival, the bouncy castle is going on a tour through Britain.
