The magical, after-dark, illuminated Christmas trail     

Bedgebury's hugely popular Christmas light trail returns for its third year from 20 November – 31 December 2020 with a host of amazing new features.

New trail highlights for 2020

• Neon Strings
• The Electric Forest
• Light Maze

Following last year's sell-out success Christmas at Bedgebury returns to the award-winning National Pinetum. Inspired by the landscape itself, visitors can explore a winterland of trees from around the world, dramatically illuminated with stunning lights. 

This family-friendly one-mile magical festive trail in the heart of the High Weald AONB countryside will once again be awash with colour. Christmas at Bedgebury is full of seasonal surprises and shimmering reflections that cast light on beautiful silhouettes of majestic trees. 

Immerse yourself within woodland neon strings as bouncing lines glow in the moonlight, listen out for singing trees rising high into the night sky and discover the Electric Forest saturated in ever-changing beams of colour. 

Walk along the ever-changing water-side reflections and under trees dripping with silvery shards of light, snowflakes and stars. Don't miss the ever popular Tunnel of Light resplendent in full twinkling splendour with thousands of pea-lights. 

Take a moment to pause at the fire garden, aglow with hundreds of flickering flames. Keep an eye out for Father Christmas amongst the pines, spruce and firs along the way.

Christmas at Bedgebury is brought to you by leading events promoter Raymond Gubbay Limited, a division of Sony Music, in partnership with Forestry England at Bedgebury National Pinetum and Forest.  The trail is created by Culture Creative.
