Wondrous Woods comes to Edinburgh
- Details
The event will take place in the picturesque private grounds of the Hopetoun Estate and is described as a sound, lighting and effects extravaganza which promises ‘a safe and family friendly experience’. Guests will explore on foot some 2km of winding trails of Hopetoun, exploring the hidden pathways and discovering secrets of the grounds, with some surprises along the way. The event will take place from 21 October 2020 and run for four weeks.
The Earl of Hopetoun says, “We are delighted to be the venue for the inaugural Wondrous Woods; it is thrilling for me to see the grounds come to life with all the creative lighting and effects that are planned. This is an exciting time, as we develop our vision for Hopetoun and create new event spaces following such a difficult year for us all, and we look forward to welcoming you to Hopetoun.”
Geoff Crow, director of 21CC Group says, “We feel it is important to deliver an event that appeals to all, whilst offering a safe environment for the public. The Hopetoun trails offer us a spectacular environment, really like no other, with a fantastic amount of ground space which allows us to safely bring this event to life this year for all to enjoy.
“The events industry has been hit hard by COVID-19, and it is imperative that safe events continue to be planned and delivered, not only for the survival of the industry as a whole, but also to keep public engaged. Added to this, we are recognising the positive economic impact this will have on the local area and beyond and the potential revenue generation for other local businesses.”
21CC Group has worked extensively with the Hopetoun House team for many years, working in partnership with them for the delivery of the popular Hopetoun Fireworks & Bonfire event, as well as the delivery of multiple largescale corporate events both within the House and the grounds.
