Christmas forest trail with fire garden and Father Christmas an hour from Liverpool

An after dark light trail has opened an hour from Liverpool where you can walk through a forest lit with twinkling lights and a fire garden.

The glittering trail at Delemere Forest features illuminated dragonflies, singing trees and shimmering reflections that cast light in hidden places.

Inspired by the landscape, visitors can journey through the world of trees drenched in sparkling lights as they listen to a soundtrack of seasonal favourites.

Internationally acclaimed installation artworks Florison and the stunning Christmas Cathedral with more than a thousand pea lights were woven into the forest landscape, lighting up hidden nooks of the deep forest.

To keep you warm, there are street food vendors along the way. You can toast marshmallows over a fire, enjoy a spiced winter warmer, or a festive hot chocolate as you complete your moonlit journey.
