Nature’s Confetti returns to bloom again this spring at Outernet London from 1 - 30 April aiming to bring the beauty of this special moment in nature’s calendar to more Londoners, commuters and visitors to the capital.

Outernet London – the most visited cultural attraction in the UK - is an immersive entertainment space housing giant floor to ceiling wraparound screens – the most advanced of their kind in the world.

As part of the National Trust's annual Blossom campaign, once again you will be able to enjoy the power and beauty of ‘nature’s confetti’ as you experience the illusion of petals raining down on you from above as the immersive experience returns to celebrate the 2025 Blossom season after a sucessful run in 2024.

Designed by the Outernet’s creative team, the three-minute video features every 15 minutes in The Now Building, just off Tottenham Court Road, and for a full hour 1.00pm-2.00pm each day during 14 - 20  April. Times may vary, please check the Outernet website for the latest details.

Accompanied by specially composed music by Father to match the uplifting and inspirational visuals, the experience aims to connect you to nature even in central London. There's even an interactive element where you can to use your body movements to control and see how blossom trees grow on the screens as part of the experience.

The immersive experience has been created using a combination of shots that cut between the city vista and close ups of blossom bursting into life, plus audio recordings from National Trust places including Petworth House and Park in West Sussex, to echo the authentic sounds of nature in the UK.

As well as enjoying the sheer spectacle of the piece, there is an important message too – how we must cherish the glory of nature in the face of ever-increasing environmental threats and ensure many generations to come are able to enjoy the coming of spring, heralded by blossom.

The experience will be live at Outernet London, Charing Cross Road (WC2H 8LH) until 1 - 30  April 2025.
