Bravo, Royal Botanical Gardens!
There’s indoor live entertainment, and a place where you can, for a small donation, create and hang a Christmas ornament with your customized hand-written message on a majestic Christmas tree!
There’s a light installation that reacts to the volume of your singing voice so practice in the car and get ready to belt out some tunes to get this terrific tree to light up bright.
There are plenty of food and drink stations, places to sit by a crackling outdoor fire-pit, and best of all, there are snowmen displays scattered throughout, each with a delightfully punny joke on each one!
The wonderful winter-themed walk is 1.5 km, and takes approximately 1 hour.

Outside food and beverage will not be permitted.
Please be aware that some areas of the garden contain fast moving, bright lights.
