The Festival of Light celebrates the importance of light in the darkest months, by illuminating the Garden throughout Winter with magical light installations. Adults can help transform the little Greenhouse into a ‘Shadow Lantern’ and create other hand-made lights by taking part in a series of free paper-cutting workshops. Children and young people can take inspiration from the vegetables and seed pods grown in the Garden in ‘Fruit ‘n’ Veg’ paper lantern workshops on Saturday afternoons.
All of the hand-made lanterns create a magical atmosphere on special late opening ‘Light Nights’ throughout December, Thursday – Sundays, when the Garden stays open until 11pm.The final Light Night is Sunday 20 December,
