Windsor Great Park has a reason to keep visitors out after sunset this winter. From 13 November to 3 January, Illuminated returns with woodland projections, fountains and light installations around Obelisk Pond. There are stops for mulled wine and toasted marshmallows along the way, giving adults as much reason as children to linger.
Royal Berkshire, a country house hotel in nearby Sunninghill, makes an overnight stay an appealing addition to the evening. Its family rooms and suites suit those bringing children, while the Polo Bar offers somewhere to sit over a drink back at the hotel. Book the trail’s timed entry and parking ahead, then leave the following morning free for breakfast and a walk through the hotel’s 15 acres.
