Sunnymeade Twilight Event

Experience Sunnymeade after hours at this special twilight event, offering an intimate and atmospheric way to explore Peter and Simone Shaw’s celebrated Anglesea garden. Held prior to the garden’s public open days and requiring a separate ticket, this relaxed evening invites visitors to wander at their own pace as daylight fades across the coastal landscape.
Known for its sculptural stringybark gums, flowing grassy mounds, and thoughtfully layered native plantings, Sunnymeade takes on a new character at dusk. As the last light settles behind the trees, gentle garden lighting reveals shifting textures and contrasts, while fire pits create warm gathering spots throughout the space. Guests will enjoy a complimentary glass of wine on arrival, with light food served informally as you explore. Curated music drifts through the garden, accompanied by a selection of short, themed readings that add to the reflective mood.
Designed to be welcoming and unhurried, the evening offers space to connect with others or simply find a quiet corner to take it all in – an evocative and memorable garden experience.

Sunnymeade is located on the lands of the Wadawurrung people. Open Gardens Victoria wish to acknowledge the Traditional custodians of this land and we pay respect to their Elders, past, present and emerging.
