Lightscape - the internationally acclaimed multi-sensory experience of light, colour and sound – is transforming the Calyx in the Royal Botanic Garden Sydney into an after-dark oasis of botanical brilliance as part of Vivid Sydney from 26th May to 16th July.   

The Sea of Light installation will blanket the expansive lawn in front of The Calyx and merge into a spectacular display of light climbing up its façade to create a mesmerizing evening event space.  

Laissez-faire Catering, the renowned hosts at The Calyx, will offer a specially crafted menu for business events coinciding with Lightscape with Sara Flaksbard, General Manager, Laissez-faire Catering noting the menu will complete a fully immersive and unforgettable experience for business events guests.

“The menu features a variety of eye-catching and memorable dishes, such as the Rainbow Blondies with Candied Popcorn for drinks, the Iridescent Purple Beetroot Risotto as a standout item, and the Chef's personal favourite, the Yellow Saffron-Steamed Hapuka. With its striking aesthetic, the menu promises to be perfect for capturing great photographs and adding to the overall unforgettable experience of the events," shared Flaksbard.  

Specifically designed to complement the atmosphere of Lightscape, the menu will make it an excellent choice for businesses looking to add a touch of sophistication and excitement to their corporate events during Vivid Sydney.
