18 magical photos show Birmingham's brightest winter walk - a glowing escape at the Botanical Gardens

Step into a glowing winter wonderland at Birmingham Botanical Gardens — deep in the heart of Edgbaston — for Luminate, a magical illuminated light-trail experience.

Beginning 28 November 2025 and running through to 1 January 2026 each evening,

Luminate transforms the Gardens into a sparkling world of tunnels of light, glowing trees, shimmering reflections, music-synchronised installations and playful displays — all along a nearly one-mile trail.
