Along the route, the Water Tower becomes a gingerbread house and a giant Christmas present, a ballerina dances to the Nutcracker in the Ornamental Garden and glitter balls that appear to explode.

Colourful woodland scenes transport the visitor into a magical world of festive fantasy.

The Cherry Orchard has been festooned with simple white lights inviting you to enjoy a swing under the trees.

For the first time, the interactive experience has been led by Iris Digital, a Newcastle company which specialises in interactive multimedia installations.
