Have an Enchanted Christmas in a forest wonderland

By Caroline King - October 9, 2020Posted in : Exhibition, Nature and Outdoors, Walks

This Christmas, take an enchanted trail through the trees with an illuminated night-time event in Gloucestershire.

The Enchanted Christmas trail will be returning to Westonbirt, The National Arboretum, with an all-new theme, promising some spectacular light displays.

This year’s Christmas theme will see visitors going on an illuminated trail to search for Father Christmas at his West Pole outpost. The trail will wind its way through the magnificent trees of Westonbirt’s arboretum, with Father Christmas himself, hidden somewhere amongst the woods.

The annual Enchanted Christmas event at Westonbirt is a creative way of connecting people with trees. The trail allows visitors to experience the woodland in a new light and see the structures, textures and silhouettes highlighted by the lights.

The National Arboretum at Westonbirt is home to nearly 15,000 specimens of trees and shrubs, and covers 243 hectares (600 acres).

More walks and trails can be found here.

When: 28th November – 21st December 2020, 4pm – 9:30pm
Where: Westonbirt, The National Arboretum, Tetbury, Gloucestershire GL8 8QS
£: Tickets cost £16 for adults, £14 for concessions and £8 for children. Tickets include a £1 non-refundable booking fee and must be booked in advance
