Make RHS Glow your brightest Christmas tradition yet!
As twilight falls on selected dates from Friday 21 November, RHS Rosemoor near Great Torrington will transform into a world of magical winter wonders where you can admire the garden's dramatic architecture in a whole new light - illuminated by thousands of glittering lights.
Step into an enchanted garden where twinkling lights dance across curated landscapes, where every path leads to a new discovery, and where the spirit of the season glows brighter than ever. Expect immersive experiences, breathtaking light art, and enchanting trails that celebrate the beauty of nature in winter, accompanied by music to lift your spirits.
Prepare to be dazzled – this year the sparkling route incorporates a total of seven brand new, atmospheric light and sound installations for you to discover, and also takes in the newly refreshed Winter Garden, designed by award winning Jo Thompson. What's more, as you explore the trail, beautifully illuminated artworks created by talented UK sculptors will reveal themselves, as well as picture-perfect moments and opportunities to become the stars of the show with family and friends.
Kick start your festive season by booking tickets for the opening weekend and become part of the show by wearing your brightest and most colourful outfits – you could just win a VIP package including annual membership, a festive hamper and Restaurant vouchers!
No need to worry about dinner either – savour the season with delicious grab-and-go winter warmers from take away outlets along the route or plan ahead and book a two-course Glow 'Simple Supper' to enjoy in the cosy Restaurant before exploring the trail (pre-booked parties receive a £5 voucher to spend in the Restaurant between 6 – 31 January 2026).
You can even do a spot of Christmas shopping before you leave! You will find everything from beautiful baubles and a huge selection of Christmas trees and plants to unique gifts and stocking fillers in the Garden Centre on your way out so you can bring the magic home.
RHS Glow runs from 4.30pm – 8.30pm on selected dates from Friday 21 November to Tuesday 30 December with last entry 7.15pm - book now to secure the date and time of your choice!
