Tips & Advice

  • Book early because popular time slots always sell out, and the cheaper off-peak tickets are only on a limited number of dates.
  • Bring your booking reference number on the day, plus your RHS membership card if you're a member, because everyone needs a pre-booked ticket.
  • If you need a mobility scooter, book it before you book your Glow time slot so one is available for your visit.
  • Pick 27 or 28 November or 5 December and your Glow ticket also gets you late-night entry to the Magic of Christmas Craft and Food Fairs.
  • Add a silent disco session on 11 or 12 December, choosing the family session or the adults-only session, as a separately ticketed extra to your Glow visit.
