The Alnwick Garden’s Winter Light Trail saw a 30% increase in visitors this year, making it the most successful event yet
Alnwick: The Alnwick Garden is buzzing with excitement. They just hit a record for ticket sales at their Winter Light Trail. Over 58,000 people visited this year, which is a big jump from last year.
This event has been running for six years now. It started on November 18 and wrapped up on January 1. Mark Brassell, the CEO, shared how popular this event has become. People come from all over to enjoy the lights and installations.
Every winter, they try to outdo themselves. This year, they added new features and brought back favorites like The Oldest Tree and the snow machines. It’s all about making the experience magical.
They also introduced a cool ticket deal. For one price, visitors could access both the Light Trail and the play village, Lilidorei. Families loved the chance to meet Father Christmas and his reindeer.
The support from sponsors was amazing too. They raised over £30,000 to help with community programs. It’s great to see local businesses stepping up to support such a fun event.
So, if you missed it this year, keep an eye out for next winter. It’s definitely worth a visit!
