Hertfordshire's biggest Christmas light trail has confirmed dates and tickets for 2024.
Just a 40-minute drive from Watford or 30 minutes from Kings Langley, families will get the chance to explore Ashridge House like never before as it welcomes a magical light trail.
Ashridge House in Berkhamsted is illuminated with an immersive experience set in the gardens of the Grade II listed stately home.
Across 1.4km, the 2024 edition of the trail is 33% larger than most other festive light trails across the UK, offering 20 light moments, many of which are brand new for 2024.
The illuminated trail is the longest in Hertfordshire and is an experience that was created for all ages, according to Ashridge House.
Unlike previous years, for the first time every Wednesday and Thursday evenings, the light trail will welcome dogs.
