The Moonlight Gardener

Step into a glowing world of nature, light and imagination as The Moonlight Gardener brings his spectacular illuminated garden to LET’S DO LIGHTS!

As darkness falls over Burrs Country Park, join the Moonlight Gardener on an enchanting journey through the four seasons, where his garden magically comes alive before your eyes.

Blending modern circus, playful physical theatre, incredible juggling and cutting-edge LED technology, this captivating non-verbal performance creates extraordinary images seemingly suspended in mid-air. Flowers bloom, bees buzz, owls glide overhead and birds take flight as glowing landscapes appear, transform and disappear into the darkness.

Using innovative VisualPoi technology, spinning and thrown props create intricate trails of light and detailed illuminated animations, all perfectly choreographed to music.

But beneath the spectacle is a beautiful message. As the Moonlight Gardener celebrates the wildlife, landscapes and changing seasons around him, the performance gently reminds us of the wonder and fragility of the natural world and the importance of caring for it.

Suitable for the whole family, The Moonlight Gardener promises to be a mesmerising experience at LET’S DO LIGHTS! 

Limited Places Available

In addition to this ticket, you will also need a LET'S DO LIGHTS! 'General Entry' ticket too.
