Families can enjoy two enchanting experiences at The Alnwick Garden this February half term.

The garden and Lilidorei are offering programmes of activities as part of The Alnwick Garden’s 25th anniversary celebrations, running from February 14 to 22.

Mark Brassell, CEO at The Alnwick Garden, said: "This February half term, we are excited to offer two different kinds of visitor experiences, both celebrating the power of stories in very different ways.

"Firstly, we are launching a playful historical trail, encouraging children to follow a map and explore The Garden, meeting some of our most unexpected residents along the way.

"As we celebrate our 25th anniversary, this trail will bring our past to life in a whole new way.

"Over in Lilidorei, we are excited to introduce visitors to Princess Amanita, the latest character to join the magical village, as introduced through the Duchess of Northumberland’s recently launched children’s book, Amanita."

The activities are included with standard admission, unless otherwise stated.

Tickets for The Alnwick Garden and Lilidorei can be purchased separately or as a combination pass.

A special programme of storytelling and a ‘GIANT Mushroom Mapper’ trail will also be part of the Lilidorei experience.

The Alnwick Garden’s popular Dog Days returned today (February 12) and will take place every Thursday and Sunday.

Dogs are permitted in outdoor areas of the garden, but not in Lilidorei or indoor spaces, except for the Atrium.
