80,000 tickets go on sale for spectacular Enchanted Forest light show
Almost 80,000 tickets have been released for this year’s sound and light show at the Enchanted Forest.
The 2018 event, entitled Of The Wild, is firmly rooted in nature and inspired by the hidden mystery of Faskally Wood after dark.
The creative team has come up with an engaging event that combines breathtaking visuals, innovative technologies, interactive special effects and an original music score.
Over 73,000 visitors attended last year’s sold-out show Oir an Uisge (Gaelic for ‘Edge of the Water’), which was a four per cent increase on the previous recordbreaking year. Now in its 17th year, the event brings in an estimated £3 million to the local economy.
The tickets will go on sale to the general public today, Friday, June 15.
Almost 30,000 tickets have already been snapped up through a private pre-sale to previous customers and subscribers to the event’s newsletter.
Outdoor Access Trust for Scotland, The Birks Cinema Trust and Blairgowrie Riding for Disabled have been confirmed as the official charity partners for 2018. These organisations will not only benefit financially but will be promoted extensively during the month-long extravaganza which opens to the public on Thursday, October 4.
Ian Sim, chairman of The Enchanted Forest CommunityTrust, said:“Innovation and imagination are at the heart of The Enchanted Forest’s reputation as Scotland’s premier sound and light show.
Without giving too much away, I am delighted to say that our creative team has once again come up with an event that will deliver a real wow factor to enchant and enthral visitors of all ages.
“As demand for tickets grows year on year, I cannot emphasise strongly enough that people should buy tickets in advance to ensure they secure a chance to visit this year.”
