Embark on a magical winter adventure right on your doorstep with Glow Wild at Wakehurst. Glow Wild is one of my families favourite events for Christmas in Sussex. It’s truly magical, and this year promises a mesmerising experience for the entire family, making it one of the most awaited festive highlights of the year in Sussex.
Discover the Woodland Light Trail
As night falls, Wakehurst transforms into an illuminated wonderland, featuring an award-winning woodland light trail that is sure to captivate visitors of all ages. This year, explore a new route showcasing exclusive art installations crafted by nine international artists. These stunning displays draw inspiration from the secret world of trees, bringing to life an awe-inspiring spectacle of hand-crafted lanterns and bespoke light installations.
Family-Friendly Fun and Festivities
Glow Wild is perfect for family outings, with a plethora of attractions that will delight children and adults alike. Marvel at the iconic redwood Christmas tree adorned with 1800 energy-saving bulbs, be amazed by the giant flying owl soaring above, and discover the hidden wood dragon nestled within the gardens. The festive atmosphere is completed with roaming puppets, storytellers, and more, ensuring a magical experience for all.
