Ready steady snow!

Sidmouth's illuminated trail Connaught@Christmas is getting ready for opening night on Friday December 9 – and snow has arrived right on time!  

In fact, it’s not real snow but biodegradable, environmentally friendly snow that looks just like the real thing. And with temperatures set to be chilly for the next few days, it really does set the scene for the start of this festive event. This is where visitors will find Father Christmas, ready for a friendly chat.

The whole site is lit with just LED technology this year to help make the event as environmentally friendly as possible. Thousands of LED lights are being festooned around trees, plants, and architectural features creating a wonderfully evocative experience for all the family.

Tickets for the event are available online or can be bought on the day from the info desk in the marquee in the Food & Craft Village in Manor Road Car Park.
