University of Southampton scientists will help fire the imaginations of the next generation of physicists at a stunning light art trail.
Sir Harold Hillier Gardens is again opening its gates after dark to share the stunning transformation of its 180-acre arboretum site near Romsey with a series of light art installations by international artists and leading designers.
The artwork is made possible by lasers and fibre optics and Phd students in Photonics will be meeting visitors to explain the science of light and how it fits into the modern world.

"The light art looks amazing and the creativity involved in making it is rightly recognised but without the science, the physics and optical engineering, it might never be able to leave the artist's imagination," explains Dr Pearl John, Public Engagement Leader in Physics and Astronomy at the University of Southampton.
The University of Southampton has an international reputation as a leader in Photonics.
