Syon Park is stunning all year round, but the colours from the Autumnal trees is just glorious. Annually, as the days get shorter and the nights draw in, Syon Park is transformed into an Enchanted Woodland. It’s an immersive, magical trail through the lush gardens, by nightfall.
Wrap up warm, as there’s over a mile of fairy lights, and light projections bringing the woodland to life. The reflection of the multi-coloured illuminations onto the water, is just majestic. There are interesting sculptures to be found between the installations. There are mystical fairy doors, and lamp shades swaying from the trees. With giant sweets amongst the shrubs, one can’t help but feel like you have arrived in Wonderland. After all, Syon Park is where “Alice Through the Looking Glass” was filmed.
There’s a touch of Christmas spirit, with baubles and snow flakes blowing in the wind. As the mist meanders, the rumblings of a dragon can be heard. And amidst the waters lurks Syon’s very own monster. It’s all rather surreal. The rotating disco ball hanging high up in the trees is dazzling and twinkling, as you walk through the woods. There’s plenty of fun to be had making shadows in the darkness of the Enchanted Woodland. There’s a dizzying, psychedelic tunnel and lasers, lighting up the grand Conservatory.
The Enchanted Woodland is an unforgettable way to spend a crisp evening in West London. It’s perfect for a romantic stroll or a walk with family and friends, to appreciate the great outdoors. Children will love the feeling of having fallen into a fairytale. Keep close, as although there’s a lovely hue of colour, it’s still fairly dark amongst the vast woodlands. The muddy shoes are definitely worth it for this unique, enchanted experience. There’s only one weekend left this year, so be sure to book your tickets now.
