Westonbirt, the National Arboretum will become a wonderland of festive lights this winter when the Enchanted Christmas event returns from 26 November to 19 December.

Alongside carols and festive treats of mulled wine and roast chestnuts, visitors will be able to take the 45 minute Illuminated Trail around the Old Arboretum. The trail takes in some of the gems of Westonbirt’s collection, spectacularly highlighting the beauty and shape of the trees.

Children can see Father Christmas, who this year will be dressed in his traditional green costume especially for Westonbirt. Historically, Father Christmas wore a green outfit rather than the relatively modern red suit we recognise today.

Join Father Christmas and his elves from 4.45pm on 26 November to turn on the lights. He will then meet and greet youngsters throughout the four week Enchanted Christmas event.

Westonbirt’s Enchanted Christmas takes place every Friday, Saturday and Sunday evening from 26 November to 19 December, from 5 to 8.30pm, with the last entry at 7.15pm. The Illuminated Trail is accessible for wheelchairs and if you would like to hire a mobility scooter, you can book one in advance by calling 01666 881218.
