Top Tips

Wrap up warm

The woods can be a little chilly during winter, so we recommend:

Cosy thermals

Hats, scarves & gloves

Coats

Layers (easy to add or remove as you go)

Choose the right footwear

This is an outdoor trail, so wellies or sturdy walking boots are perfect – especially on frosty or muddy evenings.

Bring your phone

Our glowing light displays and silly snowmen make wonderful family photos.

Arrive on time for your chosen timeslot

To make the most of all the festive fun, please arrive promptly for your selected timeslot. This helps ensure you have plenty of time to enjoy the full experience at a relaxed, magical pace.

Keep an eye out for characters

You never know when a BeWILDerwood friend might appear! They love meeting visitors and spreading festive cheer throughout the trail.

Families return to BeWILDerwood Presents Christmas year after year because BeWILDerwood’s Christmas event isn’t just a light trail, it’s a magical storybook adventure. With twinkling lights, enchanting storytelling, friendly characters, a cosy woodland atmosphere and a gift for every child. It’s the perfect festive day out!
