A brand new after-dark illuminated trail through a festive Garden
Firmly established as unmissable within Scotland’s winter calendar, Christmas at the Botanics is a fantastic night out for family and friends. Come and enjoy the Garden after dark, be captivated by awe-inspiring light installations and seasonal sounds which fill the air with festive fun.
Look forward to some time together with friends and family as you discover sparkling tunnels of light and dancing lakeside reflections, then walk under giant baubles and beneath glistening trees drenched in jewel-like colour. For a moment of reflection pause at mesmerising flickering flames in the fire garden, gaze at the larger-than-life illuminations and, to make a moment to remember, don’t forget to glimpse Father Christmas along the way.
Our crew of talented independent street food vendors bring a delicious twist to tempting treats on offer. Complete your walk under the stars with a perfectly festive *spiced winter warmer, *hot chocolate or *toasted marshmallows shared with someone special.
Your very merriest Christmas starts here. Limited capacity with timed entry. Plan now to secure the date and time of your choice.
