Illuminated Garden Trail

A magical light trail through the gardens at Helmingham Hall

Step into the magic of winter at Helmingham Hall’s Illuminated Garden Trail, from the 15th of November to the 18th of December.

This year’s event promises to be more magical than ever, with stunning new light displays transforming the historic gardens into a winter wonderland.

Visitors will be captivated by a dazzling array of lights, colours, and sounds as they wander through the illuminated gardens. The experience offers festive treats, the chance to cross the iconic drawbridge—pulled up every night since 1510—and the opportunity to toast marshmallows around cosy fire pits. The Stable Shops will be open for visitors to browse unique and thoughtful gifts, while complimentary mulled wine will keep everyone warm and in the holiday spirit.

Please note, tickets must be purchased in advance as none will be available at the gate. Discount vouchers and membership cards (including HHA) cannot be used for this event.
