Join us for a magical evening as Forest of Imagination opens its twelfth edition with a celebration of creativity, nature, and community.
This year’s theme — Imagining the Future of the Forgotten Land — responds to the climate emergency by reimagining Entry Hill as a vibrant, temporary Art and Nature Park. This creative proof of concept envisions a more permanent space where arts, ecology, and community thrive together.
Step into a world where creativity meets nature at the much-anticipated opening of Forest of Imagination 2025. Join us for an enchanting evening filled with art, inspiration, and community spirit.
Free to invited guests - dress warmly and with sturdy shoes, the event is outdoors on uneven ground.
