Event description

This winter, Carrick Hill will transform into a living work of art as the historic house and gardens come alive after dark in a breathtaking illuminated experience.

Inspired by the iconic designs of William Morris, this immersive nighttime experience will transform Carrick Hill through spectacular animated projections, music and visual storytelling. Watch William Morris’s iconic designs bloom across the House exterior as vines climb, flowers blossom and woodland creatures appear in a dreamlike world of light and imagination.

Wander through glowing gardens while enjoying mulled wine, hot donuts, seasonal soups, toasties and truffled fries, and soak up the atmosphere of an unforgettable evening beneath the stars.

Join us this July for Adelaide’s most beautiful winter night experience.

William Morris Winter Wonderland is an outdoor, all-weather event.

Proudly supported by The Carrick Hill Development Foundation.

Driving in from Carrick Hill Drive, meet in Carpark A, the third carpark along. Parking attendants are stationed to support visitor parking and wayfinding. There are two accessible parking spaces.

We will meet beside Carpark A, under the cafe umbrellas, then descend, via stairs, lift or ramp, onto the main path towards the front of Carrick Hill House.

This path is initially narrow and brick paved, with open lawns to either side. After passing through a ticketing marquee, the path is slate flagstones of various sizes initially set in concrete then set in grass. The slates are unevenly set forming an undulating surface.

We will gather on two benches to the right of this path, to begin tour formalities and deliver pre-show notes.

We will then continue around behind the house, onto a bitumen surface with some raised areas caused by deep tree roots.

We will continue past the toilet block, gift shop, food-truck and cafe area, through to the Winter Wonderland viewing area, on the first terrace of several sloping grassed terraces, at the back of Carrick Hill house. From here, there will be a sunset view down over Carrick Hill gardens, and beyond to city lights and the sea.

Bench seating, immediately to our right as we arrive in the viewing area, will be reserved for tour patrons.

The session will be described live by Catherine Fitz-gerald and Hen Vaughan for Access2arts, and will run for approximately 20 minutes.

Hot food, drinks and gift shop items are available for purchase at the event.
