Discover magnificent trees on a magical illuminated trail at Bedgebury.
Enjoy an after-dark trail at Bedgebury National Pinetum this winter. Firmly positioned as unmissable within the UK’s seasonal calendar, over a million twinkling lights and seasonal sounds will fill the air with festive fun.
Make memories with friends and family as you discover sparkling tunnels of light. Catch a glimpse of the stars as you walk under giant baubles and beneath glistening trees drenched in jewel-like colour. For a moment of reflection pause at mesmerising flames in the fire garden, gaze at the larger-than-life illuminations and don’t forget to wave hello to Father Christmas along the way.
Grab a seasonal snack from the Bedgebury cafe at the visitor centre. Our crew of talented independent street food vendors bring a delicious twist to the tempting treats on offer. Complete your walk under the stars with a perfectly festive *spiced winter warmer, *hot chocolate or *toasted marshmallows shared with someone special.
