Lightscape

  • Family and kids
  • Entertainment

Lightscape is making its Australian debut at Royal Botanic Gardens Melbourne this June.

Featuring luminous walkways and vistas, vibrant bursts of colour that run up trees like fireworks and large-scale installations such as the Winter Cathedral, comprising more than 100,000 tiny lights, Lightscape takes audiences on a 1.8km journey of light and sound through Melbourne's iconic Botanic Gardens.

Royal Botanic Gardens Melbourne will be the first garden in Australia to host Lightscape, which has been created in partnership with Sony Music Entertainment.

The event was developed at Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew in the UK 10 years ago and has been an overwhelming success since, with more than two million people experiencing the illuminated trails at various venues last season.
