Mount Edgcumbe will again be illuminating the stunning formal gardens at its Christmas event.

It’s after dark Christmas adventure includes light shows, themed wonderlands, mulled wine and a surprise appearance from Father Christmas.

The visitors’ journey starts with a special effects show - journey beyond a secret door and find yourself in an enchanted grove adorned with over 25,000 fairy lights and the soothing sounds of a garden alive with life. Meet eccentric adventurer Sir Piers in the dining room and join him on a fascinating tour around his Mansion of Mysterious Curiosity. Then dare to venture beyond the fire garden to a scarily thunderous valley – but beware! You’re not alone.

Wonder Nights is open nightly between December 12 and 15; 19 and 23; 27 and 30 and January 2 to 5.
