Hestercombe Gardens is proud to present Illuminate, with a dazzling new display for 2024. 

Showing for 29 nights between 21st November and 30th December 2024, Illuminate will transport you on a magical journey of colour, light and sound to bring festive awe and wonder to Hestercombe Gardens, near Taunton. 

The natural features and views of the Landscape Garden come to life at night, with spotlights, lit trees and coloured paths drawing you up towards the Great Cascade, down past beautiful dynamic fountains in the Pear Pond, below the Formal Garden, before finishing with a show-stopping display in front of Hestercombe House.

This stunning experience is approximately the same walking distance as the sold-out 2023 event, but even more packed with show-stopping sights and sounds to wow the entire family. Prepare to be awe-inspired at the beautiful gardens as they come to life this Christmas.
