Light Up News

A Christmas lights show is due to go ahead despite the theft of £80,000 worth of copper cabling. Months of planning had gone into the Light Up Sir Harold Hillier Gardens At Christmas event in Romsey, organisers said.

The annual after dark experience at Hillier Gardens is back - and it's even better than before, despite the setbacks. Light Up Hillier Gardens has become our new favourite festive family tradition and we were so keen to return that we were queueing up waiting to make our way through the tunnel of rainbow light to start the trail as it opened just after dark last night.

VISITING a winter light trail has become an annual tradition for many in the run-up to Christmas, with multiple venues now offering their own version of this popular experience.

Imagine walking through a magical light trail where each step feels like a journey through a twinkling wonderland! Well, this is exactly how I felt walking through Light Up Sir Harold Hillier Gardens! The lights dance and shimmer, creating a dreamlike atmosphere that transports you to a world of enchantment and beauty. The trail guides you with a gentle glow, illuminating the path ahead like a trail of stars leading you on a captivating adventure. It’s truly a mesmerising experience that fills your heart with joy and wonder!

Thursday evening I visited the Light Up Trail at Sir Harold Hillier Gardens with my family, it is just outside of Romsey. The evening was cold and crisp but the sky was clear. We had to park across the road from the entrance but they had arranged for someone to be there to stop the traffic to allow us to cross the road safely.

We are excited to welcome back the award winning Light Up trails for a sparkling family celebration of Christmas and colour. This year, with a new route and brand-new installations, it is bigger and better than ever promising more Christmas, more lights, more photo opportunities, and more joy!
