The Enchanted Woods

With stimulation for at least nine senses, the Enchanted Woods is a separate universe! Come in and get lost. Secret forest pathways will lead you to to hidden, mind-bending, multi-sensory art, performance and workshops. Follow the magical melodies and rolling basslines and you will discover the ancient wooded glade, where the hidden Treehouse Stage will enchant you with indolence by day, and rumble with digital fusion after dark.

With new spectacular interactive displays and specially commissioned premieres, The Woods don’t come to Shambala…..Shambala comes to The Woods!
