The season may only have just turned to summer, but The Alnwick Garden in Northumberland has announced the sale of its much-anticipated Winter Light Trail tickets.

For the price of one entry, guests can enjoy two award-winning attractions, The Alnwick Garden and the world’s largest play structure at Lilidorei.

Now in its 6th year, The Alnwick Garden Winter Light Trail will run from November 18, 2024 to January 1, 2025, with sell-out crowds once again expected, many of whom visit as part of their annual winter traditions.

A number of new installations will be included this year, alongside old favourites making a welcome return.

According to Mark Brassell, CEO of The Alnwick Garden, the yearly demand for tickets is symptomatic of what the event means to people from across the region.

He said; “Each year, we welcome a stream of visitors who come to experience our beautiful and immersive Winter Light Trail in all its sparkling glory. This includes many repeat visitors, who now count the event as an essential part of their festive season.

“This year we have introduced a new ‘one price, two venues’ ticket, offering families and people of all ages value for money, and the opportunity to enjoy our dual attractions. Because we are officially an ‘accessible and inclusive’ venue, everyone can easily tour the Winter Light Trail at both The Alnwick Garden and Lilidorei.

“Families will also love playing at Lilidorei, and meeting the reindeer, elves, and Father Christmas in our enchanting Christmas wonderland. It may be summer, but we’re very much looking forward to welcoming guests to our winter spectacular.”
