The much-anticipated Enchanted Forest light event has been postponed due to the prediction of heavy rainfall. The new opening date will be Friday, 24 May. 

Event organisers have inspected the Blackbutt Forest site and deemed it unsuitable for vehicle access. The team is unable to get the necessary equipment on site without impacting the waterlogged terrain.

Ticket holders for sessions between 17-23 May will be contacted by Laservision to reschedule their booking. Laservision CEO Shannon Brooks says the postponement is unfortunate but unavoidable. 

Chris Homer, Mayor for Shellharbour says, “unfortunately, we can’t control Mother Nature,” but emphasises that the community is still excited for the Enchanted Forest to return to the city.
