Well worth a visit, we went with family, my grandson loved it, was so special seeing his little face, just magical!

Shirley

Well worth going, went last year too, nice to see they have changed a lot from last year. So if you went last year thinking you’ve seen it, so won’t bother this year…you'd be in for a lovely surprise!

Emily

What a fun family outing! Would highly recommend it to anyone looking for something festive over the Christmas period. Interactive and a very memorable experience!

Emma

Absolutely fantastic, we drove 4 hours to be greeted with one of the most mesmerising displays, a wonderful walk around the gardens and a credit to the artists!

Christian

The gardens are absolutely beautiful! We have done a lot of these different light up gardens over the years and this one was amazing! Lovely evening.
