Enchanted Gardens Light Trail returns to the town gardens.
Following on from the success of the inaugural Enchanted Gardens Light Trail, which welcomed over 27,000 people in December 2021, South Swindon Parish Council are thrilled to announce the return of this spectacular family experience to the Town Gardens over 2022’s festive period. And, this year, the trail is set to be bigger and better than ever!
From Friday 2 until Saturday 31 December, a magnificent outdoor lighting trail, specially designed by light art pioneers, Luminism, complete with state-of-the-art effects, remarkable light art sculptures and interactive illuminations that are set to amaze Swindon residents of all ages.
The historic Town Gardens, located in Old Town, Swindon, were laid out in the late 19th and early 20th centuries on the undulating Okus Field, the site of old Purlock stone quarries. There are a number of historic points throughout the Town Gardens, including the 1930s Art Deco Bowl, in which South Swindon Parish Council have successfully hosted a varied programme of theatre and music events throughout the summer, attracting over 1300 attendees to this iconic space.
As part of the illuminations, selected local schools have been invited to be part of the event by helping to create one of the light art installations, entitled ‘The Lantern Walk’, which will be positioned on the Quarry Road Pathway.
