2024 is the seventh outing for the hugely successful show
and this year will see several changes brought into play.
We will be keeping the key show features and changing
and adding to several sections,
with a lot more interactive features for all to enjoy.
This Year’s Theme!
The theme this year is – Hidden Treasures and this will have lots of key feature
elements as part of the whole event experience, with several more new artist
installations on site for 2024. The highlight of the new show design is a new trail this year at the lower lawns site for folks to explore and marvel at the amazing features en-route.
This year the gates will open at 16:30 to allow attendees to grab some
tasty treats from our fantastic selection of street food traders, get one’s hands on a
hot and cold beverage whilst allowing plenty of time to immerse yourself in the
multiple light installations within the magic of the Botanical Gardens.
The kids’ activities marquee will be open from 16:30 – 20:00, offering the opportunity
for families and children of all ages to engage in FREE activities
in between the fireworks and light show displays.
Food & Drink
Fancy a bite to eat? We have a fantastic selection of local street food traders
including Moss Valley serving up a selection of pork dishes, straight from the Farm!
There’s something for everyone… from wood fired pizzas, Thai, Greek, Mexican, Caribbean, bratwurst, sweet and savoury pancakes or traditional fish and chips.
Plus a great selection of vegan and vegetarian dishes such as loaded fries, dumplings and mac & cheese.
Prefer something sweet?
Why not have your cake and eat it too!
With loads of choice from homemade brownies and cakes, decadent fudge, pick ‘n’ mix and loaded waffles! serving a fabulous selection of delicious cakes (including vegan options).
Or if you fancy something warming, why not treat yourself to some fresh churros to go with your loaded hot chocolate?
Refund Protection!
In addition Illuminate have now added in an option to add refund protection cover
to your ticket for a small fee, that covers you if you can’t attend for a red
weather warning, medical reasons or a flat tyre, a train or bus that didn’t show up and many more issues that means you can get a refund if needed and not because the whole show has to be cancelled!
Illuminate look forward to seeing you all again at the Botanical Gardens
to celebrate the beauty and wonder of Sheffield’s most prestigious site
and the change of seasons and the showcasing of light, art and activity in the dark !!
