Tips & Advice
- Book tickets in advance, especially for premium dates, as availability is live and subject to change.
- Consider purchasing 'Flexi Tickets' if your plans might change, as these allow for rescheduling up to three times.
- Lilidorei can be enjoyed anytime after 4:30 PM, either before or after your allocated Winter Lights session at The Alnwick Garden.
- If using a sat nav, use NE66 3RA for the A1 off-ramp and follow signs for The Alnwick Garden, rather than the main Alnwick town center exit to avoid congestion.
- Check the 'Dog Days' schedule if you wish to bring your dog, as they are only permitted on specific Thursdays and Sundays outside of these trial periods.
