Abbotsbury Illuminate 2026 Immersive Winter Lights at the Gardens

See Abbotsbury Subtropical Gardens in a different light this winter as Abbotsbury Illuminate returns to West Dorset.

Follow the illuminated trail through the gardens and woodland valley, where colourful displays pick out the shapes and textures of the plants and transform familiar paths after dark.

This year’s route is the longest yet, taking you deeper into the gardens with more light displays to discover along the way.

Looking for a festive family evening in West Dorset? Wrap up warm and follow the Abbotsbury Illuminate trail through the Subtropical Gardens. With colourful displays along the way, it’s a winter outing for all ages.

Family tickets are available with no booking fee, and car parking is free.
