Enjoy the magic of Glow Wild

Make memories on our beautiful winter lantern trail, when darkness comes to life with forest animals, sparkling trees, flickering flames, and colourful handheld lanterns to light your way.

Festive magic

The real magic of the festive season is spending time with family and friends and enjoying the crisp change in the air.

Glow Wild is the perfect winter activity with a touch of magic, a lot of wonder, and plenty of winter warmers to keep you cosy along the way!

Created by a range of artists, the installations along the trail reflect on the past year and the positive impact that less human activity has on the natural world.

This inspiration has resulted in an enchanting trail that turns the night into a place of special discovery and wonderment.

Willow and paper are transformed into lifelike deer, ethereal moths, birds and other animals which you can find throughout our woodlands.

A time of wonder

The Tree of Life, another collaborative art piece, is ‘growing’ in the Pleasance. With its gnarled trunk and oversized, illuminated leaves, it seems to have appeared straight out of a fairytale.

Still in leaf despite the season, co-creators Brockman and Page say that the tree ‘breathes light and wonder onto all who walk beneath its bows’.

It also represents the Millennium Seed Bank with the hope and promise of life it holds.

Explore a Twilight Garden lit by digital glowworms, and enjoy the welcoming warmth of the Mansion lit up with plant fronds, and the lawn ablaze like a trail of underground fungi.
