A Winter's Trail at Skelton Grange (Thursday 17 December)

A candlelit trail through the woods and gardens at Skelton Grange, with illuminated miniature villages, a hot drink and snack round the campfire, and a winter craft to take home. Pick a start slot when booking and arrive for it: it sells out. Paths are grass and woodchip, can be muddy. No dogs except assistance dogs. Free parking. Also on Wednesday 16 and Friday 18 December.

TCV’s annual fundraising event, a calmer, smaller alternative to the big winter light shows and especially popular with younger children. Numbers are limited so there’s time to explore at your own pace. Children must be supervised throughout, and all money raised supports the centre’s charity work.
