Halloween Illuminated Trail at West Green House
22 October, 2022 - 31 October, 2022
Halloween at West Green House is a fantasy and fun designed for the littler members of your family. Delight at dusk at the whimsical and spooky sculptures inspired by the heart warming celebration of life, the Day of the Dead. A glittering trail finding intriguing follies, and ‘what is hidden under bridges’, perhaps its more mythical beasts escaped from the gardens cages.
Berkshire mum Zoe and her kids @adventuresoftheaandjaxwww.insthttp://www.instagram.com/adventuresoftheaandjax have checked it out.
Last night we were invited to preview West Green House Garden’s Halloween event – all the lights and paper sculptures placed around the garden were fantastic. This years theme is Traditional Folk Fairytales and Day of Dead.
The walk through the gardens took us just over an hour and Thea and Jax were mesmerised by the lights and the music There are also huts mid way through the trail serving hot dogs waffles and hot chocolates and a beautiful tea room at the end of the walk serving teas and coffee
There’s lots of spots for photo opportunities, the colourful lights light up all the beautiful features of the garden and the path through the garden is pram friendly too.
It’s spooky but not scary – perfect for little ones like my two (3 & 1 years)
