Wishing Tree

Make a wish for the planet!

A special Christmas Wish Tree aims to encourage all visitors to think about the environment we live in and how we can make positive changes in the New Year.

Visitors will have the unique opportunity to record their wishes for our planet in a special book beneath the Wish Tree. Every wish will then be tied to the Wish Tree as a festive ribbon.

Available everyday during Christmas festival.
