Christmas at the Magical Woodland at Cheshire Outdoors, Cheshire 9 — 31 December 2020 Tickets from £13.75 — Book now

Back for another year, Christmas at the Magical Woodland is alive with light – bringing a scintillating display of dazzling installations to Cheshire.

Don your glow sticks and limber up, this outdoor walking experience takes explorers through private woodland on an awe inspiring after-dark trail of discovery.

Weave through impressive sparkly tunnels and enjoy a magical audio and interactive light show. You can expect floating, illuminated umbrella canopies, colourful trees, and rays of shimmering light which dance across a serene lake.

Timed entry is ticketed, but once onsite, you can loop around as many times as you like.

At the heart of the trail is a central refreshment hub – primed for your sustenance needs, with snacks for small tummies and hot drinks to warm you up.

We recommend lots of layers and sturdy shoes as the terrain is reported to be steep and uneven in parts.
