With some amazing displays set up around Sussex and Surrey, light up your Christmas this year and visit a fantastic light show!
Christmas at Hever Castle
Hever Castle is hosting The Adventures of Pinocchio where you can discover the castle and a Christmas trail around the gardens. The castle is beautifully decorated, with welcoming log fires and twinkling Christmas lights, where you will have the chance to wonder the castle on your 45 minute tour before heading out to the gardens (unless of course you would prefer to end your trip inside the castle!)
The Pinocchio Christmas Trail in Geppetto’s Workshop is surrounded by wonderful wood carving creations, then watch Pinocchio in Stromboli’s puppet show. Journey through the land of toys and head under the sea to rescue Pinocchio’s father and then to see the whale and the shipwreck! As the trail comes to an end, the Blue Fairy grants Pinocchio’s wish of becoming a real boy… If you aren’t quite ready to leave by this point and you are there at the right time, you will be able to catch the Christmas Light Trail where you can witness the enchanting castle and the grounds engulfed in fabulous colours and twinkling lights. As well as enjoying the captivating light displays you will also meet friends of Pinocchio along your way. Perhaps you want to top it off with a fairground ride and some candy floss!
We do 100% advice to book in advance as early as possible to avoid missing out as we have heard it gets very popular!
