Ayscoughfee Hall Gardens will be transformed after dark as Shifting Perspectives brings light, colour and movement to the historic landscape.

As evening falls, familiar pathways and features are gently reimagined through immersive light installations, inviting visitors to explore the gardens from a fresh point of view. Designed for all ages, the experience encourages wandering, pausing and discovering moments of surprise throughout the space.

Each installation responds to the unique textures, forms, and history of Ayscoughfee Hall Gardens, using digital light to reveal details that might otherwise go unnoticed. The result is a welcoming outdoor experience where families and friends can gather and enjoy the gardens together after dark.
