For this winter we have organised a Coach visit to a Light Up Trail – Glow Event at Sir Harold Hillier Gardens (near Romsey).
However, to make it a “day out”, en-route we will be visiting Haskins Garden Centre in West End. This will be in the early afternoon to give you lots of time to browse and purchase Christmas presents as there is a wonderful selection of retailers with everything from Clothing & Fashion, Wellbeing, Indoor and outdoor Lifestyle, Food & Drink, Hobbies, Toys and Games, Xmas Decorations as well as plants, bulbs and seeds and lots of horticulture supplies. I do like a new pair of gardening gloves for Christmas.
We will then drive the 30 minutes to Sir Harold Hillier Gardens near Romsey for their spectacular Light Trail, the experience now unfolds across a series of immersive themed zones. Each one is designed to tell a story through light, sound and atmosphere. You’ll wander through glowing gardens, enchanted hollows, playful dreamscapes and more.
Our timed group entry will be at 5.00pm.
You will have plenty of time to follow the light trail and enjoy this wonderful experience and still have time for a cup of hot chocolate, soup or maybe a glass of Mulled Wine, (I’m not driving the coach), at one of the marquees where there are many street food outlets!!
We will be returning to Hayling by 9pm. Exact times and pick-up points will be available nearer the date.
The cost for this outing is £39.00 for HIHS members. (Coach and entrance to SHHG Glow included).
To book please contact Sue on outings@hihs.org.uk these events book up fast, so do book early to avoid being disappointed. I don’t want to say, but December is now closer than last January!!
