London Illuminated Light Trail
Immerse yourself in the festive spirit and experience the magic of the festive
season at Fulham Palace Park’s Illuminated Garden Trail.
Explore 13 acres of stunning botanical gardens, rare trees, and a charming walled garden, all transformed into an enchanted winter wonderland with thousands of twinkling lights. This is a must-see event to kick off the holiday season.
​
As you stroll through the illuminated gardens, enjoy the festive atmosphere with boutique shopping, fire pits for toasting marshmallows, and a selection of delicious food and mulled wine. Don’t miss the captivating performances by fire breathers, stilt walkers, and the incredible magician Markele, as seen on Britain's Got Talent.
​
The trail runs from Thursday, 28th November 2024, to Sunday, 22nd December 2024. Father Christmas will also be in his grotto on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays for a small fee of £4.00, with all proceeds going to support children’s homes during the holiday season.
