From laser gardens to enchanted forests, glowing displays are lighting up the UK this dark winter season. Here’s our pick of the most dazzling…
Christmas at Kew, London
Now a firm favourite in the Christmas calendar, Kew Gardens’ winter light festival is back and brighter than ever. The trail begins, as is tradition, with a glittering archway: the gateway to your festive voyage. Highlights of the trail include a forest of glowing, colour-changing tendrils, a cascading waterfall of light from the Treetop Walkway and the Cathedral of Light, the biggest tunnel of lights ever seen at Kew. Visitors can expect a mesmerising Palm House Pond finale, where Kew’s famous glasshouse will spring to life with criss-crossing laser beams, jumping jets of light and kaleidoscopic projections playing across a giant water screen. Until 5 January 2012. Visit kew.org

Christmas at the Botanics, Edinburgh
With over a million twinkling lights, Christmas at the Botanics is returning to Edinburgh Botanical Gardens.
