Cambridge Botanic Lights 2024

Fri 29 November - Sat 21 December

Botanic Garden

The lights will highlight some of the Garden’s most beloved features, such as the Fountain, Lake and Glasshouse Range, and create special experiences around the rest of the Garden. There will be new, original installations that are unique to the Garden, as well as the return of some of last year’s most popular pieces such as the light tunnel and lilies on the Lake.

The Café will be part of the trail with warm offerings, and food stalls halfway around the route will be serving hot drinks and light bites to revive spirits and warm up any chilly fingers!

- Cambridge Botanic Lights will be open for 14 nights in the winter.

- The event will open on Friday 29 November and run every Thursday to Sunday evening until Saturday 21 December.

- Tickets are available for timed entry, starting at 5pm, with the final entry of the day at 8pm. The Garden will close at 9.30pm.

Cost: Adult: £18.50, Friend/CU student: £15.50, 4 - 15 years of age: £12, 3 and under/carers: Free (plus a booking fee)
