Lion’s Gate

A Rare After Hours Sound and Spatial Experience

A rare and carefully curated after hours experience within the Marble Arch Caves, guided through sound, space and stillness by Tessa Ann.

Limited to 16 participants, this intimate small group experience takes place beyond public hours, offering access to the caves in a quieter and more atmospheric setting.

Step away from the pace of everyday life and into the stillness of the underground environment. This experience offers a rare opportunity to experience the caves in a slower, more attentive and immersive way.

Part of The Place to BE series, this experience explores the relationship between sound, listening and environment, where the cave itself becomes part of the experience.

Taking place on 8 August (08.08), often associated with the Lion’s Gate, this moment in the year is linked with reflection and renewal. Here, it serves simply as a gentle invitation to pause and experience the caves differently through sound, space and stillness.

Event Overview

The Experience

Beginning at the cave entrance, you will be guided on a slow journey through a series of underground chambers, each with its own distinct acoustic and spatial character.

As you move deeper into the cave, there is a natural transition from the outer landscape into a more contained and resonant environment.

With minimal instruments and very little spoken guidance, the focus remains on direct experience. Sound is introduced gently at key points, allowing the cave to carry, soften and shape each moment.

There will be time to pause, settle and listen within each chamber.

At the Roundabout, the group gathers for a period of stillness and sound. Crystal singing bowls and voice are used sparingly, allowing the natural acoustics to lead.

Later, at Journey’s End, there is an invitation for soft vocal toning, offering an opportunity to engage with sound in a simple and natural way.

Each chamber responds differently, revealing how sound travels, settles and transforms within the environment.

Unlike a typical cave tour, this experience is intentionally slow and spacious, offering time to notice how perception begins to shift underground.


After the Experience

As the return journey begins, there is space to notice how the cave feels on leaving.

Following the experience, there will be time to integrate, with refreshments or time outdoors if weather allows.


Accessibility

The cave experience includes steps, uneven surfaces and low lighting in places. There are 154 steps on access and exit of the show cave.

The pace of this experience will be slow and mindful, with pauses along the way to support comfort and accessibility.

This experience is not suitable for wheelchairs and may not be suitable for those with limited mobility or significant difficulty with steps.

The Squeaker gave out the first week
I got this for my playful chihuahua. The size is rather large for him, but that's really not an issue for him; he already thinks he's ferocious and big as a Rottweiler. The Squeaker worked at first, but it's not attached to anything on the inside, so it floats freely and is hard to locate and squeeze, without it slipping out of my grasp. After a week, the squeaker is now completely collapsed and doesn't work at all. Its a terrible design. The Squeaker should be easily accessible, firmly attached to something on the inside, and should be more durable.

Great toy
Color: Black/Orange
This brand really makes durable toys. They outlast every other toy my dogs have. One dog loves to get the squeaker out of any toy, but he doesn’t rip this one apart. Obviously it won’t last forever, but no toy does! Some other brands of toys only make it a day or two, while these last months to years.

Great toy for two big German Shepherds
Color: Brown
We only buy Tuffy dog toys now because we have one German Shepherd, and we often watch our daughter's GSD too, and the two dogs tear anything else apart in minutes. Tuffy toys are BY FAR superior to any other dog toy we have tried. That being said, some Tuffy toys seem to last longer than others with the two dogs, and this one has been pretty good! We've had it for a few weeks now, and it's just now starting to show some white (stuffing) where their teeth have pierced the top of the toy. That's pretty good, considering they play tug of war with it and can tear into toys pretty hard. If it were just our one dog, I think it would last a lot longer because it's the tug of war between the two of them that does them in faster. Even so, when they do manage to tear the fabric in vulnerable places, I just pull the stuffing out from that area, and they continue to play with it, sometimes for months! This one is better than some other Tuffy toys too because it has lots of areas where there is already more fabric and reinforced seams than stuffing, like all the legs on the side, the tail, and even the pincers. So far, they haven't been able to tear into those at all. Just a bit on the top of the head, and so far, no stuffing coming out yet. This one is a big win for us! When they finally do do it in, I will turn around and buy another Scorch the Scorpion right away!
