Alnwick Garden to celebrate 25 years with spectacular anniversary weekend
Plans are underway for a spectacular weekend full of performances, storytelling and entertainment to celebrate 25 years of The Alnwick Garden.
Live music, fairground rides, games and performers, including a bubbleologist, will set the atmosphere for a special anniversary celebration from Friday, October 2 to Sunday, October 4.
Visitors are invited to take a journey back in time to explore how the popular tourist attraction came to be with unseen footage from the garden’s creation streamed on a huge screen in front of the grand cascade.
Celebrations will continue into the evening with fire jugglers and LED performers taking centre stage, after which the event will culminate in a striking water display incorporating lights, lasers and fireworks.
“We are absolutely thrilled to be celebrating 25 years of The Alnwick Garden,” said Mark Brassell, CEO of The Alnwick Garden. “It has been a pleasure to revisit the history and how we got to where we are today.
“Over the past year, we’ve heard from former colleagues and friends, from those who were there when the doors first opened to the teams who helped make much-loved attractions like the Poison Garden and Lilidorei a reality.
“Marking a quarter of a century is a momentous occasion which deserves a celebration to match, and I believe the team have outdone themselves with our anniversary weekend.”
The Alnwick Garden has contributed £400million to the local economy and has helped put Northumberland and the wider North East region on a global stage, welcoming visitors from around the world.
