A new interactive installation is set to dazzle visitors at "picturesque" country gardens this summer.

Located beside the Millennium Garden and Glade Sculpture Garden at Pensthorpe nature reserve, the "Out of the Cocoon" display showcases work by Amberlights studio head Amber Stefani who has previously exhibited her work at Norwich City Cathedral.

In celebration of the butterfly species found at the nature reserve, Out of the Cocoon aims to inspire audiences with "iridescent rainbows in an array of mesmerizing colours".

The sculptures, standing at three metres tall and more than four metres wide, are inspired by wildlife and sustainability, according to Ms Stefani, powered entirely by solar energy. 

Engravings around the installation provide insight into the creatures and the environment they live in.

Charly Barnes, head of marketing at Pensthorpe, said: "At Pensthorpe, we always love to find new ways to enhance our guests' experience and partnering with Amberlights is a wonderful way to bring an exciting new feature to the reserve.

"Out of the Cocoon is located close to the Glade Sculpture Garden, where visitors will find a specially curated collection of sculptures that complement Pensthorpe's habitats.

"That's what Pensthorpe is all about - bringing locals closer to nature."
