A quieter version of Quarry Bank's illuminated winter walk through the Upper Garden, with softer lighting, no music and fewer people, before the busier evening sessions start. Children can spot Mrs Claus getting the sleigh ready and collect reindeer food, and every ticket includes a hot drink. It takes about 30 minutes on flat, accessible paths; it is outdoors, so wrap up, and under-1s go free.
