Glow Illumination Trail Dates and Times

After a hugely successful opening event in 2021 Glow is back and ready to invite you to share a dazzling, memory-making experience with family and friends under the stars!

Join us again at the beautiful Cobtree Manor Park in Maidstone for an immersive, night-light trail full of joy and wonder, all inspired by this year's theme of 'Nature After Dark'. Encounter the installations along the way, designed and created by a wide range of local light artists and inspired by the nocturnal landscape.

Explore the Enchanted Woodland as it comes alive in a kaleidoscope of colours celebrating all the beauty, colour, and magic of Mother Nature when the sun goes down.

Enjoy all the tempting treats and delicious drinks on offer at our Food Village as vendors serve up a variety of mouth-watering food and drinks with a festive twist.

Feel the joy of Christmas as you wander along the festive path, bathe in the lights from the twinkling trees and larger than life installations and try to spot an elf or two along the way!

Become an underwater explorer as you immerse yourself in sparkling light installations within our illuminated underwater seascapes and spectacular light projections.

Walkabout performers will guide and entertain you throughout your journey and you can also book an experience to meet Father Christmas himself!*

This is an experience not to be missed! Capacity will be limited so book soon to avoid disappointment.

*Ticket availability to meet Father Christmas is very limited and not guaranteed. These tickets must be purchased at the time of booking general entry tickets.

We will be having 'Relaxed Sensory Sessions' at 4pm and 4.15pm on each day where the event will have limited capacity, to make it a more comfortable experience for those with additional needs and neurodiversity. Please feel free to book tickets for one of these sessions if you feel it suits your needs better. If you already have tickets for a different session and would like to swap please do so here
