Our larger-than-life Stick Man, who you'll find at the start of our Stick Man Trail, will be taking a well-earned break until 16 November and won't be accessible to view during this time. The Stick Man Trail will remain fully accessible over this period, and all other carvings will be available to view along the route.
Our mile-long Illuminated Arboretum route will use mesmerising light, colour and sound to bring the fascinating stories of the Arboretum to life in an entirely new way. There will be something to captivate all ages from fun hands-on elements, immersive spaces and areas for personal reflection.
Entry to Illuminated Arboretum is every 15 minutes between 4.30pm and 7.30pm. Once you are in the event, please feel free to spend as long as you wish going around the route.
We hope you're feeling hungry - we'll be offering a selection of tasty takeaway treats at the Arboretum during our Illuminated Arboretum evenings which will be available to purchase from our Restaurant and concessions on the route.
The Coffee Shop will be closed during the event.
We look forward to welcoming visitors to Illuminated Arboretum. We have pulled together a list of all our frequently asked questions that will help you plan a visit.
