Enchanted Parks

The award-winning Enchanted Parks returns to Saltwell Park, Gateshead this winter (Thursday 10th Dec – Sunday 13th Dec). Magnetic Events will also return for the third year as the creative producers and working with commissioned artists will transform the park by atmospheric installations, light, sound and performance into an enchanting seasonal wonderland. The theme to inspire your commissions this year focuses around the“Twelve Days of Christmas” which offers many fantastic opportunities for exciting commissions.

Nominated by popular acclaim for ‘Best Tyneside Event 2008′ at The Journal Culture Awards 2008, Enchanted Parks was successful in winning the 2008 Award. Last year over 10,000 free entry tickets were snapped up by the public to see the winter art trail across 25 landscaped acres of Saltwell Park.

Enchanted Parks is an innovative outdoor arts programme presented by culture10 for NewcastleGateshead Initiative in partnership with Gateshead Council and for 2009 forms part of the Gateshead Winter Festival programme.
