Following a review of our winter programme, we’ve made the difficult decision to stop running our Winter Lights event at Anglesey Abbey. For 12 years, our staff and volunteers have enjoyed putting on this nature-inspired evening event but feel that now is the time to focus on something new.

Winter Lights announcement

A message from Martin Beaver, General Manager for Anglesey Abbey:

“Following a review of our winter programme, we’ve made the difficult decision to stop running our Winter Lights event at Anglesey Abbey.

“For 12 years, our staff and volunteers have enjoyed putting on this nature-inspired evening event that we know is a highlight in many people’s festive calendars. We would like to take this opportunity to thank all of our visitors who have come along to support us.”

“We understand that this will come as a disappointment for many, but we feel that we’ve reached a natural point where we now need to channel our energy into new and exciting opportunities to showcase the wonderful gardens and house in our care at Anglesey Abbey, so watch this space.”

 

Christmas 2025
