Tips & Advice

  • Choose a Saver date if you're on a budget, because the only difference between ticket tiers is the date and you get the full experience.
  • Arrive at the Garden for the entry time on your ticket. Lilidorei can be visited before or after that session, so plan the evening around it.
  • Set your sat nav to NE66 3RA for the right A1 off-ramp. Heading north, skip the first Alnwick junction and take the Denwick turn-off.
  • If you book an evening Father Christmas slot and the light trail shows no availability, call the Bookings Team, who will arrange your Winter Lights tickets.
  • Leave your dog at home, because only assistance dogs are allowed in The Garden and Lilidorei during Winter Lights.
