   One of the most beautiful garden I ever seen. I really really enjoyed. I had tickets through the Barnsbury light house we did really enjoyed we spend full days there still a lot we didn’t had chance to see.

   Myself and daughter went to the Christmas glow. I have to say we were so impressed and it was so magical. You have to follow a path and walking round took us about an hour. This included taking photos but we only stopped a couple of time. The light displays were amazing and we especially loved the arch walk way and the light shows on the lakes. It was very busy but expected. We finished off by wondering around the lovely shop which was filled with Christmas gifts. Then we stopped at the cafe for tea and cakes! There were stalls along the route selling all sorts from hot drinks, jacket potato's, sweet treats and there was evening giant marshmallows being toasted on an open fire. I have to say it was one of the best things I have seen. Highly recommend to anyone to go, the young and old. Prepare to be wowed!

   The Versailles of British gardening If Kew is the King, then Wisley is unquestionably the Crown Prince beautifully groomed, impeccably mannered, and dripping in horticultural old-money charm. The borders are magnificent. The glasshouse is a cathedral of tropical splendour. Even the ducks appear to have degrees in botany. You don’t visit Wisley you take pilgrimage. Spring brings tulips arranged with mathematical perfection. Summer is dahlia heaven. Autumn is a masterclass in fiery foliage. Winter? Even the frost looks curated. The gift shop deserves its own postcode and a security guard you will leave with at least one book you didn’t need, a mug you don’t have room for, and seeds for plants you cannot pronounce. This is simply the Wisley effect. Bring: Comfortable shoes A packed lunch (or a willing wallet the café is delicious but not for the faint-pursed) A camera, because the borders humiliate your own garden mercilessly If you love plants, go. If you don’t love plants, go anyway you will by the end.

   Visited the Let us Glow lights! Just beautiful. A few stalls selling mulled wine and food and of course the gift shop was open too.

   Visited Wisley to attend Glow for the first time with a few friends. I’d heard reasonably good things, and as two of the group were members, we all benefitted from discounted tickets which made it a no brainer. Whilst an enjoyable evening, the trail itself is very short with a few interesting installations connected by dim pathways with nothing much to focus on. Don’t get me wrong, the ones that were good - the projections and flame and fountain show - were great, but everything around it was lacklustre. You can easily get through the whole trail in just under an hour at a comfortable pace, 1.5 hours if you stop to take the perfect photos of everything and everyone in your party. There’s also a very simple selection of catering options in a Christmas market style, that are neither here nor there. This all ties into the other big drawback; the price. At just under £20 per adult, it’s expensive. Especially considering what you get and that for an extra £9ish and 30 minutes up the road you can visit Christmas at Kew, a vastly superior 2.6km trail with vintage funfair, on-site restaurants and Christmas chalets dotted throughout the trail. Glow, to me, is seriously overpriced for non-members, with our members price bringing it down to £10ish - a much fairer deal. So, is it worth visiting? If you’re a member, absolutely. You can’t doubt the experience for a tenner. Non-members? Probably not, especially if you’re bringing a family. The cost racks up quickly and you don’t get a lot for your money.

   Had a wonderful trip to Wisley with beautiful autumnal weather. Straight forward drive along M25 with plenty of directions once get closer to location. Multiple carparks for overflow. Lovely cafes and facilities. Stunning views and abundant flora/fauna.

   You have to spend at least the day to get value for your money and to see everything there is to see. Put comfortable shoes on as there is a lot of walking. Lovely garden center outside the entrance gates.
