About the trail
Quarry Bank's Upper Garden glows at twilight with festive lighting and illuminated walkways on this gentle after-dark wander, with a stop to meet Mrs Claus and a warming drink to finish. Well-behaved dogs on a short lead are welcome on every session, and the flat accessible paths make it an easy outing. Quieter, calmer sessions with softer lighting run later in December.
