The fabled Hanging Gardens of Babylon, the sumptuous delight of revelry, give inspiration to one of our newest venues in 2021.

More than a garden, more than just a “green lung”, the Boboli Gardens in Florence are one of the greatest open-air museums in Italy, embracing and celebrating culture at its finest. Following in this tradition, The Garden introduces this new venue in 2021.

Spiegeltents (meaning ‘Mirror Tent’ in Dutch) are large temporary venues, made from wood, canvas, stained glass and mirrors.  Built during the late 19th Century and early 20th Century, Spiegeltents create wonderfully atmospheric performance and event spaces. Our Spiegeltent is one of the finest!

This vibrant and charismatic transient performance venue was launched at the 2004 Garden. Since then, the Umbrella Revolution has become a regular feature at the annual Melbourne International Comedy Festival and Adelaide Fringe Festival. This glorious red-roofed, black and white walled big top can be configured to suit a wide variety of performances!
