Glow Festival

Step into an enchanted world where centuries-old gardens transform into magical performance spaces as twilight falls. For one spectacular evening, the magnificent Penshurst Place Gardens – a living masterpiece seven centuries in the making – becomes your stage for an extraordinary artistic adventure.

Discover theatrical treasures hidden within 11 breathtaking garden ‘rooms’, where history and performance intertwine. Wander past the mesmerizing circular pond, marvel at the 100-meter spectacle of blooming peonies, and lose yourself among 5,000 fragrant roses. From the romantic magnolia garden to the majestic Garden Tower, each turn reveals a new wonder and an unexpected performance.

As dusk settles, join an exclusive gathering under ancient trees for an unforgettable evening of entertainment, feasting, and celebration. Let the gardens guide you from one spellbinding performance to the next, as artists bring these historic spaces to life in ways never seen before.

Your evening culminates in the parkland, where music fills the air and the festivities continue under the stars. Indulge in carefully curated street food, raise a glass at our atmospheric bar, and dance as the garden’s magic reaches its peak.

This is more than just a performance – it’s an unmissable midsummer celebration where nature, history, and artistry combine to create pure enchantment.

Performance Times: Choose from 7pm, 7.30pm, or 8pm starts (Gardens open from 6.30pm, festivities continue until 10pm).
