About
Reading will be lit up this Christmas with the introduction of a stunning, safe and socially distanced seasonal experience in the town’s most historic quarter: its first-ever light trail!
In a year that’s been quite out of the ordinary, something extra-ordinary is coming to Reading this Christmas. Join us for a little bit of magic this Christmas as a brand-new light trail comes to Reading! For the first time ever, Reading will have its very own Twilight Trail, a magical festive trail full of sparkles and illuminations, leading you through Reading’s iconic Forbury Gardens and Abbey Ruins.
Let the magic begin…
Wander through a magical backdrop of illuminated trees, create your own light shows with interactive displays and watch the Abbey Ruins come alive with sound and light. Discover dazzling light orbs, floating mirror balls and enchanting shows of kaleidoscope patterns and colours as you experience Reading’s first Twilight Trail this Christmas.
The brand-new light trail, funded in partnership with Reading UK, Reading BID and Reading Borough Council, will launch in Forbury Gardens on 8th December and will run throughout the festive season.
To keep everyone as safe as possible and comply with current Coronavirus guidelines around social distancing, there will be a limited number of tickets available for the Twilight Trail, with allocated timeslots every 20 minutes. All tickets must be pre-booked in advance so make sure you get yours while you can.
The Twilight Trail takes place at Forbury Gardens, via Abbey Gate entrance.
