An immersive night-time event will showcase fire, music, poetry, and performance at a Carmarthenshire landmark.

The Dragon's Breath experience will be held at the National Botanic Garden of Wales in October.

The event will run for four nights from October 24 to 27.

It is a collaboration between the botanic garden and outdoor events specialists, Walk the Plank.

The event will feature handcrafted fire sculptures and performances from artists, poets, and musicians.

The performances will tell the story of the Dragon's Breath as visitors walk along the fire-lit paths.

The event is designed for all ages and is centred around a dying dragon seeking sanctuary at the garden.

Through poetry and song, the event will convey a message of hope, focusing on young people's potential to heal the world.

The event also aims to highlight the Botanic Garden's reputation as a centre for biodiversity, conservation, and research.

Bev Ayre, senior producer at Walk the Plank, said: "Our maxim is 'anything is possible' and we always aim to awe and inspire.

"With this in mind, we have dived deeply into Welsh folklore, myth, and legend as inspiration for the narrative for this event."

The event will feature the poetry of Dylan Thomas and new work from children's poet laureate 2021–2023, Connor Allen.

Dr Lucy Sutherland, director for the National Botanic Garden of Wales, said: "The Dragon’s Breath event is the largest event the botanic garden has ever hosted, and it’s a purposefully ambitious spectacle, with a vital environmental message at its heart, that will lead us into our 25th anniversary year in 2025.

"We are a national botanic garden focused on advancing knowledge about the science of plants and lifelong learning, and we’re also a champion of the arts and believe that the arts can support us in developing further understanding of the natural world around us, and the vital need for its ongoing care and conservation.

"The Dragon’s Breath event starts us on a new journey of delivering high calibre arts experiences, and the vision behind the event and the sheer levels of creativity and talent involved has been something really special to witness."

The event will take place from 6pm to 10pm each night.
