Bio-sonification is the process of translating the electrical impulses produced by all living things into sound. Revolutionary Biscuits will play live, unedited music produced by the plants in The Plantation Garden.

Bring your picnic supper, chairs or rugs and enjoy an evening of big band music

Pavilion Big Band is a traditional 18 piece big band, featuring the crooning vocals of the fabulous Ron Barrett & Seattle native Sarah Borges. From Glenn Miller classics, Sinatra & Ella Fitzgerald standards, through to a spicy mix of Latin tunes, and a smattering of modern classics thrown in, Pavilion Big Band we leave you at the very least toe-tapping, and more than likely up and dancing!
