Mycelium Network
The mushrooms slowly transition through several colours whilst the mycelium strobes and pulses. They almost look as if they are moving around and sending messages similar to a human nervous system.
Kaleido
Ever-shifting layers and shapes of colour are projected onto the path using kaleidoscopic lenses and moving light.
Pealight Tree
Thousands of tiny bright white lights create a glow across the branches and trunk of one of the garden's magnificent trees.
Light as a Feather
Light as a Feather is an installation by Pyrite Creative. Each unique feather is handcrafted in steel rod, and painted to glow pure white at night. They twist and turn gracefully, as though lifted by a sudden gust of wind, slowing your step and spreading a sense of tranquillity throughout the space.
Christmas Cathedral
This immersive, welcoming tunnel of warm light is equally spectacular when viewed from the inside or out. Inspired by arched church windows and appearing from a distance to be a single solid shape, the Christmas Cathedral is illuminated by tens of thousands of LED lights.
Rainbow Trees
Ever-changing rainbow coloured trees stand proud along the edge of the trail route, shimmering in the night sky.
Cranes
In Japanese culture the crane is a mystical creature that is said to live for a thousand years.
They have come to represent good fortune and longevity, a symbol of hope and healing through challenging times.
Spiral Spinners
Spiral Spinners are simple sculptures taking the form of spiral trees which slowly rotate in different directions casting light and shadow.
Sea of Light
Sea of Light is a large-scale installation that covers the ground with thousands of individually controlled balls of LED light animated to a bespoke soundtrack.
Crystal Garden
A truly magical experience, made up of clusters of glowing shards that illuminate the dark night. Perhaps newly frozen ice – fitting for a fantastical winter landscape – or maybe ancient crystals sprung up from an underground magical grotto, they sparkle and shimmer with colour, creating a breath-taking and enchanting display.
Nova and Supernova
A Nova is a transient astronomical event which causes a star to quickly increase the strength of the light it emits.This dramatic process takes place when a star reignites after lying dormant for many years.
Wave at Father Christmas
The award-winning Walking Theatre Company create innovative theatre anywhere.
Fire Garden
Large-scale metal work combines with flames, light and seasonal music to create our fire gardens.
12 days of Christmas
Using colour, and occasionally fabrics, and recycled materials Woody Fox creates large-scale figures to illustrate the 12 days of Christmas.
