A Nutcracker Christmas family trail

Join us for a festive family trail in the garden inspired by the classic Nutcracker tale.

  • Booking not needed
  • Free event (admission applies)

As the classic Nutcracker music floats gently through the trees, a garden trail takes families on a voyage through this magical world, beginning once upon a time on Christmas Eve Night. See the Toymaker’s creations, tiptoe past the villainous Mouse Army and take a seat on the Sugar Plum Fairy’s throne in these immersive snapshots from the story.
