Union Terrace Gardens will be closed to the public in the lead up to Spectra 2016 – Aberdeen’s festival of lights.
From Friday 5, the stairways to the lower area of the gardens were closed off as international and national artists arrive in Aberdeen to install audio-visual art until today (Monday, February 8).
From Monday February 8, the gates leading to the gardens from Denburn Viaduct opposite His Majesty Theatre will be closed off until Wednesday, February 17.
Signage will be displayed on entrance points and other key areas within the park and a letter has been sent to residents in the local area.
The event will launch on February 11 at 6.30pm with a special live performance in Union Terrace Gardens.
Organised by Aberdeen City Council, the four-day free event invites audiences to engage with playful, accessible and high quality performances, spaces and works of art using light, sound and interactive experiences.
