Audley End is enchanted through-out the year, but this year there is something special happening in their gardens in England; something even more magical than usual. English Heritage are putting on spectacular events in the winter to take advantage of the shorter days, and the showcase their wonderful properties in a new and inspiring away.
We present to you – the ENCHANTED EVENTS in the most beautiful houses and gardens in England.
These events involve you walking through a lit trail, where you are transported, through the power of light, to some of the most magical of places. This is a simply stunning way to make memories with your kids that will last a lifetime,
Amble through trees adorned in lanterns, and duck through arches twinkling with fairy lights to experience something truly unique with your family.
It isn’t just about the garden, either. After your walks, you emerge from the trees into a traditional fairground, where you might even be able to indulge in the odd mince pie, or even a spot of mulled wine.
The events are to take place from the 15th to the 23rd December, just to get you in that perfect Christmas spirit. Audley End is one of the locations for the Enchanted events, but English Heritage are showcasing properties across the country.
It is advisable to book tickets in advance because the gardens do have a limited capacity, and we wouldn’t want you to turn up, only to discover that it isn’t possible to enter the gardens.

I would love to visit Enchanted Osborne because we live in Portsmouth so we could just get the ferry over. I would love to take my children to see this magical place because the two oldest (5 & 4) are now old enough to enjoy experiences like this.

Osborne, Isle of Wight. I visited this wonderful place as a child with my parents, and I’d love to go back with my husband. The added bonus of the illuminations and the traditional fairground would make it especially magical.
