Visit the Enchanted Garden of Light at Bath's American Museum

Get together with friends and family this Christmas at Bath’s American Museum & Gardens for The Enchanted Garden of Light, a sparkling trail of illuminations from 1 to 31 December.

Take a magical after-dark adventure throughout the spectacular gardens and woodland, and discover glittering light displays set to magical sounds and music.

What’s new for 2022? This year’s trail has a new hour-long route, and all new exciting light installations. The event is perfect for families of all ages, with a step-free route throughout, ideal for bringing along a pushchair for tired legs.

Children can collect a lantern at the start to carry along the way, plus there’s a wonderful climb and slide play area along the route, and under-fives go free. You can even bring your furry family members, as dogs on leads are welcome.

A warm welcome awaits at the Colorado Lodge Café & Bar, a pop-up American style woodland lodge at the start of the trail. Visitors can enjoy American food and drink on arrival, or at the end of the trail, with warming winter food on offer, including pulled pork bun, pulled turkey and cranberry bun, chilli, hot dogs, and of course vegan, vegetarian options.

There will also be plenty of festive sweet treats and hot chocolate as well as a fully licensed bar serving craft beers, cider, mulled wine and more. Keep warm outside around the fire pits, or grab a booth inside and soak in the atmosphere of the woodland lodge.

Don’t miss a visit to The Amazing Christmas Store, the American Museum & Garden’s pop-up Christmas shop open from 8 November. A chance to tie in some gift shopping or choose from a fabulous range of Christmas decorations.

Tickets are booking fast, so early booking to secure your perfect date and time is recommended at: americanmuseum.org/Christmas.
