An enchanting outdoor show will take place in the grounds of Smithills Hall today.
Families are invited to enter a magical forest to enjoy traditional storytelling, puppet shows and more as they experience the stunning light show TREES.
TREES is centred around six tree stumps which begin to glow and forests and their canopies being to project on surrounding buildings and tells the story of the role trees play in the world.
TREES, the latest project by the creative team "Things That Go On Things", will be on show at Smithills Hall today, Friday, February 16, and Victoria Square tomorrow, 
Visitors will also hear innovative audio recordings based on the electronic outputs of real trees.
TREES explores what “we learn from what goes on both above and below the ground…to become a more caring society who look after their neighbours and planet”.
The installation comes just a week after Bolton Council announced plans to plant 12,000 new trees in partnership with local volunteers at City of Trees.
Bolton Council’s Executive Cabinet Member for Culture, Cllr Nadeem Ayub, said:“This spectacular installation will be an unforgettable experience for families and visitor of all ages.
“Events like this make the most of our most popular public spaces to create cultural events that are open to all."
The event is free and no booking is required.
Both events run from 4pm to 8pm.
