Uplifting stories for Norfolk and Suffolk
Garden of Lights – Blickling
November 30 - December 15
The National Trust’s Blickling Estate is preparing to wow visitors once again for its biggest annual fundraiser. Tickets are now on sale for the Garden of Lights trail, which will take place from Saturday 30 November to Sunday 15 December 2024.
Visitors will enter down the spectacular front drive for an evening of colourful displays and illuminations, taking them on a multi-sensory journey through the seasons on a new accessible level route. Step into summer in the Walled Garden, autumn on the Parade, winter on the Acre and the brightness of spring along the walk to the Temple. All four seasons will be featured on the Parterre, where there will be family activities and games and a chance to make lasting memories together.
Head to the Farmyard for food and drinks, including pizzas and waffles, or stop along the route and soak up the atmosphere under the festive stretch tent as you enjoy toasted marshmallows, mince pies and warming seasonal drinks. The shop and second-hand bookshop will be open for those last-minute stocking fillers and perfect presents for loved ones.
The Garden of Lights at Blickling provides a special way to celebrate the festive season with an unmissable experience. The trail is designed for visitors of all ages and features a one-mile accessible route for everyone to enjoy. Mobility scooters can be pre-booked for the event. A changing places facility is available in the Farmyard. Tuesday 10 December is a relaxed reduced capacity event for those who would like a quieter atmosphere.
Pre-booking essential. Book now to secure your choice of date and time at: nationaltrust.org.uk/visit/
