OUT THERE NEW EVENT: SUNSET IN THE GARDEN
NEW EVENT: LABYRINTH
On Saturday 2 July, the sun will set just after 10pm – a magical time to be in Cambo Garden, arguably the loveliest garden in Fife. We invite you to enjoy live music, some subtle but magical lighting, and the spectacular juggling of Gandini. ENF’s installation BURN follows the course of the Cambo Burn at the heart of the garden in firelights that will glow all the brighter as the sun goes down.
The wonderful team at NTS Kellie Castle have joined us again this year to recreate the huge labyrinth in the shape of a map of the East Neuk on their wild meadow.
Come early and enjoy a sunset supper in the Stables courtyard before the performance. To book a table visit www.cambogardens.org.uk/whats-on Sat 2 July. Doors open at 9.30pm £15 (£5 for 7-17s), 60 minutes Please dress appropriately for open air evening temperatures.
It is a magical and restful space, designed by ENF Director, Svend McEwan-Brown and this year made all the more intriguing: we’ve located East Neuk landmarks in their right place on the map and invited East Neuk artists to share images of them. So it becomes a virtual walk all around the area. You can visit the Labyrinth free at Kellie Castle, but also do not miss the gorgeous walled garden (ticket required). Do please also consider making a donation to National Trust Scotland who have been our brilliant partners in this.
