1. FOLLOW THE LIGHT

Eight ways to share the festive season, from cocktail spots to workshops, exhibitions and more…

With luminous mushrooms, moths and glowworms on display, Wakehurst’s Glow Wild will invite visitors to reflect on the ‘anthropause’, or how nature responds when humans retreat. Winding its way through the wild landscape of Kew’s Sussex site before arriving at a mighty sequoia dressed in 1,800 eco bulbs, this year’s light trail heralds new installations from award-winning artists and a feasting experience at the Elizabethan Mansion. Select evenings from 25 November 2021 – 2 January 2022 (kew.org/wakehurst).
