Hugely popular
Now in its ninth year, the Lantern Walk has proved so popular that we have to limit the numbers to make sure it retains its magic for those who come along.
Members and non-members alike will need to book for admission to the garden and there’ll also be separate bookings for visits to see Father Christmas.
A special atmosphere
On the Lantern Walk nights the garden takes on a magical atmosphere with the lower drive, walled gardens and orchard decorated with hundreds of fairy lights and scores of withy lanterns, plus flaming bamboo torches.
The lanterns are made by local schools with the help of a dedicated team of National Trust volunteers and each school has its own section of the garden in which to show off their creative talents.
Visit Father Christmas
Father Christmas will be in his bell tent grotto ready to read a special Christmas story to his young visitors. He’ll be dressed in the older tradition of green robes to match his garden setting.
Make sure you book your timed-tickets to reserve a space at £3.00 per child.
Music, food and drink
You can keep the chill out with the hot food and drink for sale supplied by the team from Trengwainton’s tea-room, the Little Wonder café and a hog roast from Roseworthy farms.
Completing the atmosphere will be festive music brought to you by local choirs and bands.
