Over the Garden Wall 2024

This year's Festival of the Future sees the return of Over the Garden Wall, transforming Dundee's Botanic Garden into a magical and memorable open-air performance space come nightfall.

Taking place over three enchanting evenings, join us for a night of wonder, where Over the Garden Wall will take you on a journey of ethereal lighting design and projection, stunning sculpture, captivating dance performances and a specially curated musical score that promises to shed new light - literally - on one of our city’s most iconic locations.

As you wander through the illuminated pathways, take a moment to appreciate the beauty of our shared environment, breathe in the healing aromas and set your imagination alight. Immersive and sensory, this performance event will transform the garden into a luminous paradise and is the ideal evening for the whole family to enjoy.

This enchanting experience is sure to create lasting memories and inspire a deeper connection with the natural world.

We will ensure that Over the Garden Wall has minimal impact on the beautiful environment and the wildlife who call the Dundee Botanic Gardens their home.
