The Get Creative Orchestra invites you to listen - Union Terrace Gardens Soundwalk

Discover Aberdeen's Union Terrace Gardens in a whole new way with the Get Creative Orchestra's unique sound walk. Inspired by a fantastic day spent exploring the gardens, gathering sounds, and capturing the atmosphere of this much loved city space, the orchestra created an immersive soundscape that brings the gardens to life.

As you walk through the gardens, listen out for familiar sounds and landmarks woven into the piece, including a train passing overhead, children playing in the play park, and the gentle finale at the humming stone. The sound walk invites visitors to slow down, explore, and experience the gardens through fresh ears.

Originally presented during Family Arts Day at the Light the Blue Festival 2026, this completed soundwalk is now ready to be enjoyed by everyone. Whether you are a regular visitor or discovering Union Terrace Gardens for the first time, take a stroll, press play, and let the sounds of the gardens guide your journey.

Come and experience Union Terrace Gardens as you have never heard it before.
