A festive light trail is set to return with new immersive zones.
The Light Up Sir Harold Hillier Gardens Christmas experience, located in Romsey, will feature a completely redesigned route, enhanced theming, and additional sensory elements.
Co-directors Libby Battaglia and Lucinda Croft said: "With more lights, more creative ambition, and more immersive moments than ever before, 2025 will be our most technically and artistically ambitious year yet.
"We’re so grateful for the love and support we receive from our visitors and we’re excited to face the challenge of living up to Gold award-winning expectations.

"We’ve worked with world-class artists to create a brand-new trail that unfolds across a series of immersive zones each designed to tell a story through light, sound, and atmosphere with glowing gardens, enchanted hollows, playful dreamscapes, and much, much more.
"Expect new views, new surprises, and a new rhythm to your adventure."
The illuminated trail, which begins with the lantern-lit Step Into the Magic, will include the sensory-focused Bloom & Glow and The Wish Pond.
A laser-lit dance zone, The Rhythm of Light, will offer visitors a chance to get their rave on.

Other highlights include The Christmas Village, featuring food and gift stalls, and The Christmas Wish, a projection story created by Double Take Projections for Jermyn’s House.
Visitors will also journey through The Enchanted Hollow, a star-filled woodland with a fairy disco and the latest version of the Rhizome installation by Belgian artist Bobolito&Co.
The final zone, Seasons of Light, has been created by Brightside Studios and light artist James Smith.

Libby and Lucinda said: "We can only give you a flavour of what’s in store this year.
"The real magic happens when we open the gates and meet our wonderful visitors – we’re going to knock their socks off."
Off-peak ticket prices remain frozen at 2022 rates, with more off-peak time slots available this year.
Last year, tens of thousands of visitors attended the event.
