Win a Family Ticket to Abbotsbury Illuminate 2026

Fancy a family evening out with a difference? We’re giving away a family ticket to Abbotsbury Illuminate, the winter light trail at Abbotsbury Subtropical Gardens in West Dorset.

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.

Prize: A family ticket to Abbotsbury Illuminate 2026 (free parking included)
