Location
Tips & Advice
- Bring a lantern or torch to help light up the Tree Cathedral for the carols, and wrap up warm because the whole afternoon is outdoors.
- Allow time for the 10-minute walk from the Peace Pagoda Car Park, follow the event signs, and remember that parking charges apply.
- Download the carols lyric sheet to your phone before you go, or pick up a printed copy from Parks Trust staff and volunteers on the day.
- Wheelchair and pushchair users should follow the Redway path and the ramp down into the Tree Cathedral, because some ground along the way is uneven.
- Keep children with you throughout the afternoon, because all children must be supervised by an adult at all times.
