NEW TRAIL FOR 2026

A magical winter festival in the gardens

This winter, step into a world of wonder at Tatton Park Gardens. As dusk settles over the trees, the gardens transform into a magical winter festival filled with folklore, curious creatures and winter myths.

Follow winding woodland paths and discover playful surprises along the way. You might stumble upon acrobats dancing through the trees, fire jugglers lighting the night, wassailers in the orchards warding away wandering spirits, musicians by the lake sharing winter songs, or storytellers deep in the woods bringing ancient myths to life.

Expect puppets, glowing installations, live performances and plenty of magical moments designed for explorers of all ages. There are hidden corners to discover, characters to meet and stories waiting to unfold throughout the gardens.

In 2026, the festival returns with a newly imagined layout that invites families to wander and explore the landscape in new ways, gathering around performances, discovering secret spaces and playing together beneath the winter night sky.

Wrap up warm, toast some marshmallows and step into a night of nature, folklore and festive adventure.
