About this event
Frozen Light brings 'Night Out in Nature' to Shugborough Estate.
Four scientists have lived inside a biodome for over a decade nurturing the Blostma, a plant so powerful it only flowers every 12 years. The Blostma might be what we've all been waiting for, but only if it blossoms under the full moon tonight!
You're invited to enter the biodome and experience this cosmic, floral event. The question is, after 12 years of waiting, will the Blostma reveal its blooms?
This event is wheelchair accessible and limited to 6 individuals with PMLD and their carers per show. There is a Changing Places toilet on site.
To prepare for the show, you can access our visual story here.
This event has been made possible with the support of the National Trust and Shugborough Estate.
