Summer party 350 years of the Great Garden

A touch of past centuries awaits you on 23 August at the summer festival in the Great Garden in Herrenhausen - an experience that combines culture, entertainment and history in a unique way.

Hands-on history & a diverse programme for all generations

Immerse yourself in the lifestyle of the Baroque era: from nostalgic wooden games and classic horse riding demonstrations to interactive improv theatre with Shakespearean flair - there's guaranteed to be no boredom here. Children can look forward to pony rides, imaginative stilt figures, face painting stations and lovingly told fairy tales.

Meanwhile, specialist tours of the garden and fascinating talks - including one by an aristocratic guest - provide fascinating background information on the 350-year history of this unique garden monument.

Magic at the end of the day

When dusk falls, light installations transform hedges, paths and water features into an impressive work of art. The evening atmosphere is accompanied by music, stories from the night watchmen and an open-air cinema screening in the garden theatre. The highlight is an impressive light show at the Great Fountain - a real goosebump moment!
