Going with friends? Send it to them

An evening walk through Norton Priory's museum grounds and woodland lit up after dark with carved pumpkin lanterns and other lights. Most of it is outdoors with level paths, though some woodland stretches can be uneven and dim, so dress for the weather and take care. Children must be with an adult.
