IF YOU WANT A NIGHT-TIME ADVENTURE

For The Birds

Immerse yourself in a night-time adventure where sound and light take flight…

For The Birds is a self-guided journey in a historic woodland landscape transformed by bespoke light and sound installations produced by some of the most dynamic sound artists currently working in the UK, including Mark Anderson, Jony Easterby, Kathy Hinde, Ulf Pedersen and Pippa Taylor.

Marvel at the beauty and poignancy of the installations - performances, projections and kinetic sculptures - that celebrate birds in song, movement and flight, immersed in the woodlands at night.
