Things To Do

Winter Lights Trail

22 November 2024 - 23 December 2024

For the first time ever! Ride the cable cars at night across an illuminated avenue.

This winter, experience the Heights of Abraham in a brand new light with stunning light trail between 22nd November and 30th December. Tickets are on sale now!

Make your way down the festoon-lit riverside walkway before arriving at the base station to board your gondola and take a moonlit cable car flight across the river and above an avenue of colour.

Once you arrive at the summit set off on the trail that winds through illuminated gardens, across boardwalks and along woodland paths. You’ll encounter many interesting and unusual scenes along the way.

Look out for the twinkling herons, the fairy gathering, giant stars, the enchanted forest and colourful surprises around every corner.

The Vista Bar, Treetops Cafe and Snap Tin catering unit will be open.
