Blickling's Garden of Lights Paws evening
Enjoy our garden of lights event with your four-legged friend.
- Booking essential
As darkness falls, the gardens of Blickling Estate will come alive with light and wonder. See the landscape transformed with bold, playful displays of colour and sound. Explore creative illuminations and interactive moments set against the backdrop of the beautiful historic hall and gardens.
Warm your hands with mulled drinks, savour seasonal bites, and indulge in sweet treats. Share the magic with family and friends and start your festive season with sparkle and joy at our biggest fundraising event of the year.
For this night only, visitors are able to book tickets for their dogs to attend the event as well. For everyone's safety and to create the best possible experience, tickets for dogs must be booked at a ratio of two humans to every one dog. Dogs must be kept under close control on a short, non-extendable lead throughout. We ask that owners bring waste bags, appropriate leads and anything else their dog might need.
Ticket prices: Adult £16, child £9, one adult family £27, two adult family £43, dog £2
Tickets for under 5s are free, but must be booked. Essential carer tickets are also available. Each family ticket includes up to three children. Children are aged 5-17.
All tickets must be pre-booked. Your ticket includes parking in our main car park.
Last entry to the event is 6.45pm and the event will close at 8pm.
To book for a non-Paws or relaxed evening, please see the separate event.
Please note that event tickets are non-refundable and non-transferrable.
