SPARK in the Dark!

Join us at SPARK in the Dark, 2025!
As night falls, Spark in the Dark brings Glue Garden to life in a end of year celebration of art, play and connection under the night sky.

When darkness settles, the garden transforms with glowing artworks, dancing shadows and the community gathers around the warmth of a shared fire.

In the spirit of our cyclical way of working and embracing the season of Embers, we invite you to pause, reflect and play with us.

What to Expect:

Shadow Puppets & Illuminated Art
Experience the wonder of shadow puppetry and other luminous installations that come to life in the dark. Play with lights, shadows, and your imagination to create scenes and stories. Watch as the artwork around you begins to glow, turning the Glue Garden into a display of light and shadow.

Loose Arts
Modular objects made from upcycled materials. Engage in spontaneous art-making with others as you balance, build, and connect.

Communal Fire
Gather around the communal fire to stay warm, share stories, pause and reflect around a dancing flame. (No cooking)

Warm Drinks & Soulful Soup
Stay warm and nourished as you enjoy hot drinks and comforting bowls of homemade soup. These offerings are from us to you, so you can relax and stay cosy as you explore the night.
