Wales is on course for a kaleidoscopic Christmas this year at Christmas at Bute Park with visitors in for a spectacular display at the fourth annual award-winning event.
With a re-imagined route of all new installations created by a selection of world-class artists and designers on offer in 2024, organisers have released an early sneak-peek of two illuminations set to appear at the event, both created by renowned lighting display experts.
Leading the new sights on show, Mycelium Network is a huge, fibre-optic network of festive fungi which leads visitors through a colour-changing carpet of glowing mushrooms. The piece is created by the UK’s leading fibre-optics artist, Stevie Thompson.
Another light experience, End of The Rainbow, designed by Ithaca Studios, will bring to life two enormous, 400-year-old trees at Bute Park, carefully adorning them with over 3000 dazzling, computer-programmed lights, all set to dance to originally composed music in an unforgettable display.
Roxy Robinson, Creative Director at From the Fields, the team behind Christmas at Bute Park, said: “We are absolutely delighted to be offering visitors an all-new array of world-class light installations as part of a reimagined route around one of the city’s most beloved landmarks, as we bring Christmas at Bute Park back to the heart of the Welsh capital this winter.
“Once again, we’ve been speaking and listening to the wonderful audiences that continue to support us, and we are really excited to bring a fresh line up of magical sights and sounds for the 2024 event.”
“We’ve been working harder than ever to bring the people of Wales, and the local communities we have come to know and value so much since Christmas at Bute Park first launched, a truly memorable and magical experience. We just can’t wait to open the doors on our 2024 event,” Roxy added.
With more than 100,000 tickets sold in 2023, Christmas at Bute Park will be returning to Cardiff city centre from November 22 through to December 31, 2024, bringing more than five weeks of festive magic with it.
Continuing its work from previous years, Christmas at Bute Park will also be working with charities in Wales to offer complimentary tickets to local families, schools and disability organisations throughout this year’s event, which will once again include the Welsh Refugee Council, Cardiff Women’s Aid and more.
