Winter illumination trail brings dazzling lights, art installations & street performers to Kent woodlands

The Glow Arts trail will see Cobtree Manor Park transformed into a winter wonderland



A magical after-dark experience with dazzling lights, art installations and street performers is coming to Cobtree Manor Park.

The Glow Arts (@glowartsuk) winter illumination trail in Aylesford near Maidstone will see the site transformed into a twinkling, magical wonderland complete with thousands of fairy lights and inflatables.

Street performers will guide visitors through the Fairy Village and Wonderland Walkway, via a food market serving treats and festive drinks.

Special sensory evenings with a smaller capacity will also be on offer.


The trail is the debut event by Lisa Carpendale, founder of immersive illumination events company Glow Arts.

“It's really important to me that this event is as accessible as possible,” she explains.

“My team and I have worked really hard to create a spectacular experience that feels cosy and intimate, rather than overwhelming.

"lt's also why, as well as the sensory evenings, we're planning a recce by a wheelchair user to ensure the trail is suitable for disabled users too - real feedback so that if we say it's wheelchair accessible, it definitely is.

"There will be so much to see and explore; there really will be something for everyone at the beautiful Cobtree Manor Park - a night under the stars.”

The trail runs from December 15 to 31.

Tickets are priced from £9 for children to £39.50 for two adults and two children.
