Experience a light and sound spectacular with Illuminate at Hestercombe this Christmas

Hestercombe is proud to present Illuminate 2023, with beautiful new dynamic water fountains and music for the very first time.

ILLUMINATE will transport you on a magical journey of colour, light and sound to bring festive awe and wonder to our gardens.

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 and through a 'Christmas tree' grove below the Formal Garden, before finishing with a show-stopping display in front of Hestercombe House.

We're truly excited to create new water features and musical accompaniments to make your 2023 journey even more special.

This stunning experience is approximately the same walking distance as the sold-out 2022 event, but even more packed with show-stopping sights and sounds to wow the entire family. Prepare to be awe-inspired at our beautiful gardens as they come to life this Christmas.
