UP THE HILL // LADY GARDEN

14 – 16 August 2026 // Robinswood Hill // Free – everyone welcome

What is it?

Lady Garden is a fun mix of dance, music and comedy, celebrating the wild and wonderful world of flowers. A bunch of brilliant performers become flowers, each taking the spotlight before coming together to become a one-of-a-kind human flower arrangement.

Inspired by Ikebana, the Japanese art of flower arranging, Lady Garden is a playful appreciation of the beauty of flowers, nature and local biodiversity. Expect a multi-sensory experience blooming with live art, dance, comedy, music, scent, and green leotards!

Packed with humour and colour this quirky show is entertaining for all ages.

Presented by Miss High Leg Kick
