A magical journey

Woodyfest...seeing the light through the trees

WONDROUS WOODS presents Woodyfest from 21 October to 14 November. This is a lighting trail set out in the grounds of Hopetoun House at South Queensferry. The two kilometre woodland journey will lead visitors on a magical journey through the grounds of the 300 year old home. The 21CC Group has designed this year's event with creative lighting and sounds and special effects installations. Organisers expect this year's event to be a sell-out.

Geoff Crow, Director of 21CC Group, said: “It was amazing to be able to deliver Scotland first large scale Covid-safe experience for the public last year and give them something special to look forward to in what were some very difficult times.

“We have put a lot of thought into this year's trail because we wanted to produce something that is fun and exciting, but also pays tribute to the many events and festivals that have cancelled this year and last year, which is what led us to the theme of Woodyfest.

There is going to be some fun surprises this year. Woodyfest will have something for everyone.”

Estate owner, The Earl of Hopetoun, said: “Last year's lighting trail was innovative and magical for all of us at Hopetoun and we're delighted to welcome back the Wondrous Woods event.

“It not only shines a light on our home and the beautiful grounds but is a real boost for the team after a particularly challenging period.

“It's been fascinating to see just what such an ambitious project can achieve and I look forward to being able to show such a unique visitor attraction.”
