Dark Voice, a guided night walk in Waterlow Park by Richard Layzell

A performance, a walk, an opportunity to experience the unique personality of this public space after dusk, when the gates are closed and we have exclusive access, safely locked in. Finding the pinnacle of gardenlessness, the trees after leaf fall, the aftermath of ash dieback, the humbled beech, the viewing mound, the shape of water at night, the echo of a playground without kids, and other surprises.

Soup will be served afterwards in the LUX conservatory.

Assisted by Ning Chou.

Limited to 20 people, booking essential.
You will be sent further instructions when you book but you should dress warmly with appropriate footwear as it might be muddy.
