CAREW Castle is thrilled to invite families and visitors of all ages to experience Glow - a magical event illuminating the season every Friday, Saturday and Sunday between 4.30pm and 7.30pm until December 15.
Upon arrival, guests will be greeted by a stunning display of lights throughout the Walled Garden, creating an enchanting atmosphere that leads into the heart of the festivities. At Nest Tearoom, visitors can indulge in seasonal treats, adding warmth and flavour to the experience.
Adding to the festive spirit, local choirs and musical groups will fill the Lesser Hall with seasonal melodies each weekend, bringing an extra touch of holiday magic to the experience.
This year’s event brings new areas and captivating displays. Children are invited to join an interactive Santa’s Workshop Trail. Entry to the trail costs £2 per child.
Committed to sustainability, Glow’s impressive display uses only the most energy-efficient LED lights, designed to minimise environmental impact while maximising visual impact. The lighting setup uses approximately 85% less energy than traditional bulbs and can even operate from a single household socket.
To safeguard the resident bats, all lighting is focused on the Castle’s east face and east range, illuminating beautifully preserved rooms such as the Lesser Hall, undercroft, chapel and kitchen, all decorated for the season and open to explore.
Visitors must pre-book arrival slots. Tickets are inexpensive and available online. Free entry is offered to holders of annual passes, Carew parish residents, wheelchair users, and accompanying carers, though these visitors must also book online and present proof of eligibility.
