For the first time, we are hugely excited to present Illuminate the Gardens – a unique opportunity to explore the gardens after dark and experience the magic of Dartington once the sun has set.
This is a rare opportunity to see much-loved features – such as our Henry Moore sculpture, the unique terraced slopes of the tiltyard, and the Great Hall itself – in a whole new light.
Trail designers PL1, who have a track record of working in environmentally sensitive ways in heritage settings with high biodiversity, have taken advantage of the darkness to reduce the overall brightness of their LED lighting interventions, and a third of the power will be supplied by Dartington’s solar-PV array.
