SPETCHLEY Park, near Worcester, is getting ready to host what is likely to be one of the most unique displays of night-time illuminations ever seen in Britain.

This December, hundreds of lights are set to transform the 30-acre Victorian garden into a living-theatre of colour, light and form.

Visitors to the garden during this period will have the opportunity to enjoy a mile-long illuminated trail which will wind its way through what has been described as 'one of England's most evocative garden landscapes'.

The organisers of the event, Matthew Haynes and Tony Russell, created the first ever night-time Illuminated Trail in the UK back in 1996.

The event was a major success and since then well over a quarter of a million people have enjoyed the experience.

The Secret Garden Illuminated Trail will run from December 9 to 18 every evening from 5pm.
