This winter, Careys Secret Garden transforms into a magical wonderland with twinkling lights, enchanting trails, and a very special visitor…
Step into the Enchanted Forest, where your festive adventure begins. Wander beneath sparkling fairy lights, follow glowing pathways, and let the woodland guide you into our historic walled garden. Here, the garden is alive with colour, warmth, and a spectacular festive light trail designed to delight children and adults alike.
Along the way, discover hidden treats:
A cosy Secret Coffee Stop serving festive drinks and sweet treats
An Outdoor Kitchen with hearty, warming meals to enjoy under the stars
And the highlight of your journey… a magical storytime with our Extra Special Guest (we’ll let you guess who he might be).
Join us for an immersive festive experience, set in Dorset’s hidden gem, Careys Secret Garden. With its blend of nature, history, and seasonal magic, it’s the perfect alternative to crowded attractions and a chance to make heart-warming family memories.
Booking is essential. A time-slot booking system ensures everyone enjoys a relaxed and intimate visit without queues or crowds.
