Tickets go on sale for Alnwick Garden Winter Light trail and Christmas extravaganza

Tickers have officially launched for its Winter Light Trail and bumper programme of seasonal experiences.

At the heart of the celebrations will be two of The Garden’s biggest festive attractions: its Winter Light Trail and Father Christmas’ Lilidorei Grotto.

Running from November 20 to January 3, the Light Trail will combine spectacular installations, festive soundscapes, expansive Christmas decor, and interactive surprises, transforming the venue after dark for visitors of all ages.

One Winter Light Trail ticket gives visitors access to illuminations across both The Garden and Lilidorei.

From November 20 to December 24, families can also book festive breakfasts with Santa, or pay him and his elves a visit in his Lilidorei grotto, with additional slots added this year to accommodate growing popularity.

Mark Brassell, CEO of The Alnwick Garden, said: “There is something really special about the dark nights arriving and the feeling that Christmas is just around the corner. This year, we’ve made it our mission to ensure visitors experience that magic the second they arrive.

“From November, the whole attraction will be completely transformed. With lights and decorations throughout The Garden, and an illuminated Christmas tree forest in Lilidorei, visitors will feel the festive spirit wherever they turn.

“Our Winter Light Trail has become such a special tradition for so many, and every year our team challenges itself to create something even more magical. Whether you’re experiencing it for the first time or returning as a seasonal ritual, we look forward to welcoming you.”
