Cambridge Botanic Lights 2024

Cambridge Botanic Lights will again bring the Garden to life after dark with spectacular displays and artistic installations – creating a beautiful landscape for visitors to enjoy after dark.

  • 29th November 2024 - 21st December 2024
  • 5:00 pm - 9:30 pm

The lights will highlight some of the Garden’s most beloved features, such as the Fountain, Lake and Glasshouse Range, and create special experiences around the rest of the Garden. There will be new, original installations that are unique to the Garden, as well as the return of some of last year’s most popular pieces such as the light tunnel and lilies on the Lake.

The Café will be part of the trail with warm offerings, and food stalls halfway around the route will be serving hot drinks and light bites to revive spirits and warm up any chilly fingers!

✨ Cambridge Botanic Lights will be open for 14 nights this winter.

✨ The event will open on Friday 29 November and run every Thursday to Sunday evening until Saturday 21 December.

✨ The final time slot is at 8pm and the Garden will then be open until 9.30pm.

Adult: £18.50, Friend/CU student: £15.50, 4 – 15 years of age: £12, 3 and under/carers: Free (plus a booking fee)

This is an outdoor, winter event, so please dress for the weather! Refunds will only be issued if the Garden is closed for safety reasons and will exclude the booking fee. Please do wrap up warm and be aware that some of our paths may be wet or slippery.
