This year the event will also feature festive food and drink vendors, including pop-up pub The Stag Tavern, a variety of street food options, and s'mores around a fire pit. 

Wrights Café, which opened on-site earlier this year, will also be open for refreshments during the evenings. 

The trail begins with a mug of mulled wine in the courtyard before visitors are guided through the brightly lit gardens.
