An immersive light and sound experience in our cafe and garden, designed to be explored at your own pace.

An eco (and ear) -friendly alternative to traditional fireworks, with no loud or unpredictable noises.

Created by Light Artist Extraordinaire 'The Octopus' and DJ Dansette Dave.

Delicious locally-sourced hot food and drink will be available to purchase from The Commons. If you or your children have specific dietary preferences you are welcome to bring your own food.

Some parts of this event take place outside - please dress appropriately.

There will be a quiet space provided at this event for those who require it to use.
