There was a great show with lights to music, more of this next year

Review of Enchanted Gardens Light Trail 2022

The event seemed much smaller than our previous visit with far fewer and less impressive light installations, so not such good value for money. All staff were very friendly and helpful in the bad weather. Better planning and provision for bad weather might have made it a more enjoyable experience. Our daughter did enjoy it though.

Everything was great except music was so so didn't sound like Christmas music at all.
8 points from 10.

Good event for all the family

Review of Enchanted Gardens Light Trail 2022

Not the fault of the organisers but it was a very wet evening which had an impact on the occasion. The lighting was good the light show in the bowl was good but the sound was to low. The musical keyboard was poor was unable to get all the keys to work.

We went last night.
Was dry. Lights were lovely. Especially the music & changing lights. Like a band.
The paths could have had more lights on.
More music everywhere.

Awful compared to 2021. A real disappointment. Come on Swindon, you can do better than this surely!?

Me & my daughter enjoyed walking round looking at all the lights & listening to the music.. the interactive .. 'Tap' buttons were fun for the children. Really recommend it for local families to go and see. Staff were really friendly and helpful too .. Very well organised.

Lovely evening spent in one of our favourite parks. The event had improved on last year and loved the interactive elements. Reasonably priced food and drinks also.

Review of Enchanted Gardens Light Trail 2022

Myself, husband and children absolutely loved the light trail. There was a good variety of lights to see and the music/light show in the bowl was fab. We really liked the interactive parts too. Hoping it's going to be there again in 2023 because we are looking forward to visiting again! Very helpful and friendly staff too.

Enjoyed the fish feature under the bridge - unsure if it was triggered by footfall. Rest very colourful as last year - unsure if it was better overall. Took some nice photos.

Review of Enchanted Gardens Light Trail 2022

I thought this was going to be great for my little one a great night time interactive experience, unfortunately he was too short to interact with what was there. Also the interactivity was poor, there were parts where you could 'tap' a button to change a light colour but these were too high off the ground for young children. Then the areas you would have expected to be interactive weren't, a mirror ball that reflect to ground away from the footpath? Children should have been able to run around underneath. Lights were all set back from the path, it felt like you were just an observer which meant it lacked enjoyment and atmosphere. There are plenty more creative and interactive experiences elsewhere at a cheaper price too.
