For the light festival the Parterre was changed into a light spectacular in keeping with the illuminated house. Waddesdon is famous for its Carpet Bedding and every spring and summer we change the design of the beds on the Parterre and on either side of the South Fountain. A French-inspired formal garden, a parterre is made up of a symmetrical pattern of beds set off by mown grass and contained by neat pathways and low clipped hedges. Usually designed to be seen from above, in our case from the raised terrace and the main reception rooms and bedrooms on the south side of the Manor. In the centre sits a magnificent fountain, originally made for an Italian palace in Colorno. The parterre was restored in 1994 to designs by Beth Rothschild. In 2000 Waddesdon won the Europa Nostra award for ‘the extraordinary re-creation with modern techniques of a major Victorian garden’.

PERSPECTIVE: "a way of thinking about or viewing something" The concept of Perspective is immersive reflection. Everywhere you look, a different image point of yourself appears within the space. Move around the space to experience different perspectives exploring the interplay of light and form as you become part of the artwork.

FLOW: "to move along in a stream from one place to another" While our journey through life is never along the straight line we might expect, the destination is ultimately unaffected by the journey. Flow represents this winding path in light.
