Illuminated Garden Trail 2025 At Helmingham Hall
The Illuminated Garden Trail is returning for 2025, and it’s going to be better than ever!
Experience the magic of winter
Wander through the historic gardens transformed by a spectacular display of light, colour, and sound, with new installations for this year. The trail takes you across the historic drawbridge, through glowing walkways, and past flickering fire pits—perfect for toasting marshmallows. Enjoy festive street food and drink, browse for unique gifts in the Stable Shops, and warm up with a complimentary mulled wine.
The trail is open Thursday to Sunday throughout November, and every day in December until the 19th.
