The Trail

This year’s theme is ‘Enchanted’ a magical after-dark trail filled with light, sound, and festive wonder. The entire experience has been reimagined with eight enchanting, themed zones, each designed to immerse you in the spirit of the season. Expect even more to discover along the way, from dazzling new light and sound installations to a spectacular laser show and beautifully animated story projections. With delicious street food, warming drinks and our festive Christmas Village, it’s the ultimate Christmas night out.

And for those who want to experience the trail at its most magical, our Super Peak Nights feature double the performers and double the magic, ensuring there’s entertainment throughout the evening. From shimmering Ice Fairies and Featherlight characters to dazzling Mirror Ball Heads, radiant Flower Fairies and returning Fire Artists, every corner of the Gardens comes alive with light, laughter and festive energy.

Zone 1: Step into the Magic

Twinkling lampposts, golden lanterns, and a glowing star arch light the way. This is where your Christmas journey begins — with Alpine drinks, glowing Toys, and a sense that something truly special lies ahead.

Zone 2: Bloom and Glow

A radiant woodland where the trail bursts to life in a celebration of colour, scent, and sound. Giant pink trees, glowing fibre-optic blooms, and rainbow-lit glades create a spectacular multisensory moment. Breathe in the festive air as you pass through a shimmering tunnel of light.

Zone 3: The Wish Pond

A moment of stillness, connection, and Christmas wishes. Surrounded by glowing reflections, gentle choir vocals, and flickering lights, guests are invited to make a wish, remember a loved one, or share a quiet moment beneath the stars. A space for hope, love, and heartfelt memories

Zone 4: The Rhythm of Light

Step into The Rhythm of Light, where energy surges, colours shift, and the trail comes alive with movement. Follow a winding path through pulsing lights to a breathtaking laser show that feels like the heartbeat of Christmas itself.

Zone 5: The Christmas Village

A cosy festive hub halfway through the trail. Warm up in our beautifully lit Après-Ski bar and treat yourself to a seasonal drink, from mulled wine to festive hot chocolates and merry shots. Then explore a delicious array of street food, from hearty savoury favourites to indulgent sweet treats. With glowing lights, rustic seating, and perfect photo spots, this is Christmas at its most inviting.

Zone 6: The Christmas Wish

Gather round for The Christmas Wish, a magical projection that brings a child’s dream to life. Set against the historic walls of Jermyns House, this awe-inspiring moment tells the story of a wish come true, through light, sound, and cinematic wonder. A festive memory you’ll never forget.

Zone 7: The Enchanted Hollow

Step into The Enchanted Hollow, a playful woodland alive with light, rhythm, and festive surprise. Glowing trees, dancing projections, shimmering bubbles, and mirrorball magic fill the forest with joyful energy. As the light twists and deepens, discover an entangled, illuminated woodland that invites reflection, wonder, and connection.

Zone 8: Seasons of Light

Experience the magic of Seasons of Light, our spectacular finale projection that transforms the natural landscape into a breathtaking journey through spring, summer, autumn, and winter. As snow begins to fall, light dances across trees and grass in a dazzling celebration of colour, rhythm, and the wonder of nature — a final moment of joy and reflection to carry home.

Food and Drinks

We have a wonderful assortment of food and drinks half way through the trails, from mulled wine to juicy burgers.
