What is it?

This December, the Forestry Commission’s National Arboretum at Westonbirt will be transforming into a sensory winter wonderland.

Westonbirt’s annual Enchanted Christmas event will take place every Friday, Saturday and Sunday evening, throughout the month, until the weekend before Christmas.

At the heart of the Enchanted Christmas event lies a spectacular lighting display, that takes decorating the tree for Christmas to a whole new level.  Westonbirt’s majestic tree collection will be illuminated, to create a magical experience for the whole family.  A new lighting design is created each year, taking in around a mile of the arboretum’s paths.

The trail itself is pushchair, wheelchair and mobility scooter friendly, and features exciting interactive displays for the family to enjoy along the way.

As well as the trail, there will be a Christmas village with festive choirs, family friendly arts and crafts, fair ground rides and some Christmas characters.
