“A shimmering, heart-on-sleeve ode to nature for children”
The Guardian

“An easy winner if you are looking for a show for young children this holiday season”
Spy in the Stalls

Solstice is a brand new immersive trail through the seasons, with magical creatures and a festive adventure for all the family.

Under the light of the moon, you will move through a winter wonderland where animals are hibernating and people are tucked away in their cosy houses. Journey through the maze of Battersea Arts Centre’s corridors and hidden spaces, and discover magical creatures at every turn, as they guide you through the crisp new beginnings of spring, the colour explosion of summer and the bountiful harvest of autumn.

This enchanting new light-trail marks the first collaboration between BAC and Wild Rumpus, an award-winning immersive events company that focus on nature connectedness, collective wonder and the power of play.

Why not stay for a little longer and meet with Santa?
Bring your loved ones as we create our own mini-North Pole, with the experience including a small gift and the opportunity to have your picture taken with old Saint Nick.

BAC would like to thank our Solstice partner, Charles Holloway, for his generous support.
