It’s back and bigger than ever!
The ever-popular annual Rivington Festival of Light will return this autumn with tickets now on sale.
The festival runs over three nights from October 10th – 12th with tickets available on Rivington Terraced Gardens website for adults and children.
Guests can expect amazing new light shows, interactive fun and a live singer all set against the stunning backdrop of the Japanese Lake and Kitchen Gardens.
The stunning historic Terraced Gardens will be lit up in vibrant colours, with captivating sculptures installed.
The event will also feature interactive activities to spark guests' imagination, complete with live music and lasers lighting up the night sky.
The Festival of Light will also include delicious delights from a variety of vendors including hot foods, deserts and tasty, sweet treats. Northern Monkey Brewery will be offering a selection of refreshing soft and alcoholic drinks on-site.
As a family friendly event, the festival offers something for everyone and provides a dazzling spectacle without the noise of fireworks.
The water fountains in the lake will form part of the illumination.
The annual festival has been hosted by the Rivington Heritage Trust for four years and attracts thousands of visitors to the area.
Ticket costs will go towards the ongoing care and maintenance of Rivington Terraced Gardens.
Project Manager at Groundwork CLM, said: “We are excited to be running the light festival again this year, which is always really popular and attracts around one thousand and one hundred visitors per night.
“If guests are looking to buy tickets for the event, they can do so by visiting our website directly.
“We can’t wait to welcome guests to the event come October time. Ticket costs go towards the Rivington Heritage Trust towards the maintenance of the gardens."
The Rivington Terraced Gardens were restored as part of a multi-million project with volunteers now maintaining the area, which once belonged to Lord Leverhulme for future generations to enjoy.
