******************************

We are so excited about our enchanted lights woodland trail experience, this is being held over three evenings: 3rd, 4th & 5th November.

The trees and arboretum will be lit up with coloured lights, soft music and special illuminations creating a  magical evening.  Featuring enchanted woodland creatures with interactive LED spinning performances, a charity wishing water fountain, fire dance performances and more (!) making this a truly immersive and entertaining evening.

Purchase marshmallows to toast on the specially designed mini fire-pits under the stars on the Old Hall Lawn and then at the end of the trail enjoy locally produced food from street food vendors around the fire-pit.  Perhaps indulge in a Baileys hot chocolate, mulled wine or locally brewed beer from the FAB bar in the Safari Tent where you can warm up around the log burner!

We are operating two time-slots (5pm – 7pm and 7pm – 9pm) each evening over 3 nights where a one-way system will be in place to ensure it is an enjoyable experience for all our visitors.

This is a lovely alternative evening’s entertainment to a traditional bonfire or fireworks night – even well-behaved dogs on leads are welcome!

Please buy your tickets in advance online to avoid disappointment...

This event has now finished. Please check back later.

Enjoy an evening wandering along our enchanted woodland trail (just under a kilometer long) lit up with coloured lights, soft music and special illuminations creating a magical experience.  Through the lit tunnel and into the orchard there will be golden stars to spot along the way winding around up to the Old Hall Lawn.  Here you will find enchanted woodland creatures who will interact with the audience using LED lights and props on the Old Hall Lawn at set times.  The charity water fountain enables visitors to take a moment to absorb the atmosphere of the lighting in arboretum.  Walk around to the safari tent where fire dancing performances will take place under the sparkling glitter ball in front of the safari tent.  This makes for an immersive and entertaining evening for all ages!
