AS THE festive season nears, The Forestry Commission England’s National Arboretum at Westonbirt has once again been transformed into a sensory winter wonderland for its annual Enchanted Christmas event.

A new route has been created meaning Westonbirt’s majestic tree collection is back bigger and better.

Illuminated against the night sky, the trail takes in around a mile of the arboretum’s paths and promises to be a magical experience for the whole family.

The event takes place every Friday, Saturday and Sunday evening from November 25 until the weekend before Christmas, and is pushchair and wheelchair friendly.
