The Magic Hour The MAgic Hour

The Magic Hour is a six month long project produced by OCM in partnership with the Oxford University Botanic Gardens. Artists, scientists and gardeners will work together to explore each other’s worlds and the subject of dusk, twilight or “the magic hour” (as it’s called amongst cameramen and photographers).
The project will culminate in a 3 night event in early September when you will be able to explore the garden at dusk and during the evening experience magical sounds and impromptu performances.
