This winter, RHS Rosemoor is pulling out the stops for the 10th anniversary of RHS Glow which returns to transform the gardens once again with enchanting, illuminated trails, spectacular light and sound installations, and interactive experiences.
Taking place on selected dates between 27 November 2026 and 30 December, this year’s illuminations promise a spectacular after dark experience with a re-imagined route through the gardens and eight brand new installations.
Visitors can admire an ancient oak dramatically defined by neon lines as they wander through the recently renovated Winter Garden. In the Formal Gardens, a path of glowing daisies will lead explorers on to a spectacular ‘field of poppies’ before entering the Devon Heritage Orchard for the first time.
An illuminated water feature will create a dramatic focal point with beautiful reflections in the lake before the route reaches the famous Long Borders.
Here, an interactive light and sound installation designed to be explored through movement, can be discovered. Eight illuminated floor buttons respond to footsteps with shifting colour and musical notes, creating a full octave of sound and a spectrum of light. Designed to be walked, jumped, and danced across, ‘Octave’ encourages instinctive play for everyone. Whether you want to test your sense of rhythm or channel your inner Fred Astaire, it’s a joyful experience.
Huge, illuminated dandelions provide a final photo opportunity and striking finale to the trail.
For those looking for an extra special Christmas night out, RHS Garden Rosemoor will also host a Silent Disco for RHS Glow visitors on Friday 11th and Saturday 12th December. With two sessions scheduled per night, visitors of all ages can enjoy both the atmospheric trail and an evening of music and dancing in the spacious Garden Room (additional booking required).
Beyond the illuminations, guests can enjoy festive food and drink as they explore the route or a delicious sit-down meal in the restaurant afterwards. Not to mention loads of late-night shopping with Christmas trees, decorations and a carefully curated selection of high-quality gifts in the Garden Centre. Glow tickets also include entry to the Magic of Christmas Craft and Food Fairs on 27, 28 and 29 November and 5, 6 December. A quiet night (SEN) is scheduled on 27 November.
Prices start from £13.00 for adults and £7.00 for children whilst member prices start at £8.00 for adults and £4.50 for children, under-fives go free.
