We are delighted to present our bigger and brighter 2022 Christmas lights trail, ILLUMINATE.
ILLUMINATE will transport you on a magical journey of colour and light to bring an extra level of wonder to our trails. The natural features and views of the Landscape Garden come to life at night, with the spotlights and coloured paths drawing you up towards the Great Cascade, towards Sibyl’s Temple and back down past the Pear Pond and into the Formal Garden.
This stunning experience is three times as long as last year, so prepare to be awe-inspired at the beautiful gardens as they come to life this season.
Bring the whole family to enjoy this magical light experience, including dogs, who are very welcome on a lead.
Limited capacity slots are available at 15 minute intervals from 5:00pm to 8:00pm (last entry).
Advance booking is essential and we won't be selling tickets on arrival; tickets are now on sale and sell out quickly.
