The much-anticipated Cambridge Botanic Lights returns for its third year, transforming Cambridge University Botanic Garden into a spectacular illuminated trail celebrating the extraordinary world of plants. This year’s event will again bring the Garden to life after dark with stunning displays and artistic interventions – creating a beautiful landscape for everyone to enjoy.
Running from 28 November to 23 December 2025, the trail will run for 17 nights, its longest run yet, offering even more opportunities to experience this spectacular event. Expect a breathtaking blend of light, sound, and nature – perfect for families, friends and anyone looking to enjoy a memorable night out this winter.
Cambridge Botanic Lights is more than just a spectacular event—it plays a vital role in supporting the conservation, horticulture, and education work of Cambridge University Botanic Garden. All ticket income (minus booking fees) goes directly toward maintaining and growing the Garden’s living collection, making it accessible to all.
