Explore an after-dark trail of lights, festive displays and winter experiences at Wakehurst

Step into a world of winter wonder as Glow Wild returns to Wakehurst. Sussex’s award-winning festive light trail transforms the wild botanic garden into a dazzling celebration of nature, storytelling and seasonal joy.

This year’s theme, Nature’s Gift, invites you on an immersive journey of light, sound and movement, unwrapping nature’s magical moments across land, sea and sky. Grab a lantern and embark on a new route of handcrafted installations. Join a parade of penguins, marvel at murmurations and watch as the landscape transforms before your eyes.

Embrace the season beneath the giant redwood Christmas tree, with toasted marshmallows, mulled wine and festive feasts to warm the spirit.

Tickets are limited, so book early to secure your place. Our non-profit status means Boundless can subsidise your tickets and pass the savings directly to you.

Additional Tickets

Need a few more spaces for friends or extended family? No problem. If you’d like to purchase extra tickets beyond your five subsidised member tickets, we can offer them at a slightly discounted rate – just £20 per adult and £15 per child. These additional tickets do not receive the full Boundless subsidy but still represent excellent value compared to standard entry prices
