Illuminated Arboretum at the National Memorial Arboretum

About

Experience a kaleidoscope of colour at the National Memorial Arboretum this Christmas.
 

In December, Illuminated Arboretum will return to the National Memorial Arboretum, in Staffordshire, inviting families to experience a kaleidoscope of colour in the run-up to Christmas, along a new and improved route. As they venture along a winding trail around the western portion of the 150-acre woodland and garden site, visitors will encounter majestic displays that use light and sound to create a festive atmosphere, while bathing some sculpted memorials in colour.

The National Memorial Arboretum has been granted Good to Go status by VisitEngland, signifying compliance with government and industry best practice, and all events are delivered in a Covid-secure manner. The Illuminated Arboretum experience will be available from 9 to 19 December and tickets can be purchased online here with discounted early bird prices available until 31 October.

Sarah Oakden, Head of Marketing at the National Memorial Arboretum, said: “Illuminated Arboretum is one of our most popular annual events, offering an exciting, multi-sensory, immersive experience for the whole family as we approach the Christmas season. In the first week of ticket sales we’ve already sold 30% of our total capacity! 

“This year we’re introducing a new and improved route, that will be more beautiful than ever and with plenty of space to enable social distancing. Visitors of all ages will be captivated by the stunning light display during what will truly be a night to remember.”
