Following the success of last year’s first ever lights trail in the Botanic Garden, this year’s event will again bring the Garden to life after dark with spectacular displays and artistic interventions - creating a beautiful landscape for visitors to enjoy after dark.
 
The lights will highlight some of the Garden’s most beloved features, such as the Fountain, Lake and Glasshouse Range, and create special experiences around the rest of the Landscape. There will be new, original installations that are unique to the Garden, as well as the return of some of last year’s most popular pieces such as the light tunnel and lilies on the Lake.
 
The Café will be on the route with warm offerings, as well as food stalls halfway round the trail serving hot drinks and light bites to revive spirits and warm up any chilly fingers! 
 
For more information:
 
The trail will be open for 14 nights, every Thursday to Sunday evening from Friday 29 November to Saturday 21 December.
