Accessible & Creative Spaces
Immersive, Theatrical & Sensory Experiences
Immersive Gardens invites audiences to explore, create and play based on their curiosity. Our team of performers and facilitators provide full installations within the gardens, walkabout and festival acts for public and private events. We can even bring small, pop-up workshops directly to your site. Looking for something bespoke? Drop us an email by visiting the contact page.
We can't wait to grow new ideas with you!
Walkabouts & Festival Acts
Our gardening duo would love to attend your festival or party - we’ll bring along some of our favourite garden games, dances and gentle interactions perfect for family friendly events!
Meet Dandy and Pansy
Our resident dancing flowers!
Pansy loves the rain, sunshine and playing in the compost.
Dandy doesn’t like the rain, she prefers to hide in the flower beds.
Do you fancy playing a game in
