As the autumnal nights roll in, mesmerising lights will transform the gardens into a magical outdoor trail.

Visitors will be able to make their way through the woodland, and follow an illuminated path on which they will discover surprises, and some of their favourite moments from both films in the Forbidden Forest.

Visitors may also encounter mystical creatures such as Hippogriffs, centaurs, unicorns, Nifflers, and more.

There will also be food and drinks at the seasonally themed village, as well as an on-site shop for Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts merchandise.

Peter van Roden, Senior Vice President of Warner Bros. Themed Entertainment, said: "We’re thrilled to be working alongside Thinkwell to bring this incredible light trail to life at Arley Hall & Gardens, a perfect location where the natural beauty of the forest trail and illuminated sets filled with familiar creatures from the Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts series, will make for a magical experience for fans of all ages.”

The trail will follow a one-way route through the gardens, and will also be fully accessible to all as well as Covid secure in adherence with the latest Government safety guidelines.

Ticket prices will start from £19 and will be available on Fever’s marketplace.
