RHS Glow featuring highlights from new Alan Titchmarsh album
A new and unique musical collaboration is set to debut this festive season at the five RHS Gardens, amidst the magical lights of RHS Glow. The RHS has joined with gardener, broadcaster and RHS Ambassador Alan Titchmarsh MBE and composer and conductor Debbie Wiseman OBE to introduce their brand-new album ‘Jack Frost – A Winter Story’, featuring music and narration inspired by the myth of Jack Frost.
This enchanting tale of winter wonderment retells the magical story of Jack Frost. Exquisitely narrated by Alan Titchmarsh with music by Debbie Wiseman, the story is set to become a treasured addition to the winter season’s entertainment.
Highlights of the album will be showcased at RHS Glow across RHS Garden Bridgewater, RHS Garden Harlow Carr, RHS Garden Hyde Hall, RHS Garden Rosemoor, and RHS Garden Wisley from 15 November 2024 to 5 January 2025.

Visiting RHS Glow to experience ‘Jack Frost – A Winter Story’ is a unique, festive and fun way to spend time with your loved ones this winter.”
