What to expect at RHS Glow illuminations

Wander the magical trail

Go on an enchanting journey around RHS Garden Hyde Hall and see much-loved garden areas adorned with thousands of twinkling lights and dazzling colour against the dark night sky. Follow the magical trail up onto the Hilltop and discover a botanical winter wonderland of magnificent trees, shimmering shrubs and mesmerising light displays.

Breathtaking tapestry of light

As you head down the hill, take a moment to admire breathtaking views of the illuminated garden below. Then wander through the Winter Garden and be wowed by our living willow sculptures immersed in festive colour and cheer. It’s a perfect backdrop for catching up with family, friends and loved ones at this special time of year.

Food and drink

Take a break in our beautiful Thatched Barn for a classic winter warming meal or enjoy a selection of hot street food available to buy by the Lake as festive music fills the air. The Clover Café will be open as you arrive with hot drinks to buy, including mulled wine to keep you cosy along the trail.
