A unique installation by artist Mandeep Dhadialla, this interactive artwork highlights the importance of play for our wellbeing.
Using a garden swing, people of all ages are invited to take a seat and swing while surrounded by a stunning suspended paper garden with large, vibrant flowers, fruits, foliage, and wildlife.
The installation showcases how play can uplift spirits, foster community bonds, and encourage conversations about the environment.
Swing amidst this magical garden and see how play can bring us all closer together, while also reminding us of the beauty of nature and the importance of caring for our environment. Feel the joy of play and let it transform your visit into an extraordinary adventure.
Free entry.
Opening times: 9.30am–4.30pm (may be inaccessible during services or recitals)
From Saturday 12 to Thursday 31 October 2024.
