ShareDiscover an illuminated wonderland between 18-28 October and brace yourself for Fright Nights at one of Dorset’s finest annual events.
Abbotsbury Subtropical Gardens become ablaze with light and colour for the annual illuminations every October. Explore an enchanted route around the gardens as floodlights illuminate the paths and candles blaze in the garden’s many nooks and crannies.
This October, big and little kids alike are invited to don their spookiest fancy dress costume for the Halloween Fright Nights. There will be a spectacular laser rave, a scary scars workshop, a creepy-crawly bug show, eerie characters to meet and free face-painting. What better place to celebrate Halloween than in the midst of the light show, with the trees and plants casting spooky shadows.
