Make your way down the festoon-lit riverside walkway before arriving at the base station to board your cable car, and take a moonlit flight across the river and above an avenue of colour.
Once you arrive at the summit set off on the trail that winds through illuminated gardens, across boardwalks and along woodland paths. You'll encounter many interesting and unusual scenes along the way.
Look out for the neon forest, the ginormous moon, interactive stepping stones, instruments, winter garden & colourful surprises around every corner. The Vista Bar will be open serving festive tipples alongside its usual drinks menu, with pizzas on offer too. Downstairs in the cafe we will be serving jacket potatoes, loaded chips including festive fries, and delicious cake. The Snap Tin will be open too with take away drinks and festive treats.
We also have lovely firepits to toast marshmallows on and keep warm! Please note, hot food service ends 1 hour before closing. If you are arriving later and hoping to dine with us, we suggest you do this first before setting out on the trail.
Please note that dogs are not permitted at the Lights of Abraham event due to the salt and grit needed to make the pathways safe in icy weather.
