Set foot on a magical trail through the formal Dutch and Italian inspired gardens at the National Trust's Belton House this winter. This twinkly, after-dark, illuminated trail will delight festive fans of all ages as you wander through larger-than-life neon string flowers, a meadow of light, floating candles, rainbow coloured trees and a flock of glittering robins - all of which are new for 2023/2024 season! Treat yourself to a seasonal snack from one of the hand-picked street food vendors who never fail to provide an indulgent choice of festive foods and winter warmers. 

The trail is designed to take around 90 minutes leaving time to finish off your Christmas shopping at the nearby Boundary Outlet and Downtown Grantham before we arrive. You'll find fashion and homeware bargains at these two great stores at the same, undercover site. Departments at Boundary Outlet include women's fashion, men's fashion, sports outlet, fragrance, cosmetics, shoes and homeware - featuring brands such as Radley London, Lotus, Regatta, Whistles - click to see what's in store.
