A silver lining of the darker evenings.

November has only just begun but already the Christmas and festive experiences are pouring in and booking up. One place putting on an unmissable magical event is Beyond The Trees at Avondale in Wicklow. This treetop experience is going festive for winter, decorating the 40 metre high forest walk with three kilometres of night lights, as well as 12 forest animals, 16 large baubles, a Christmas tree, and other surprises you will just have to find out about when you get there.

If you're concerned about the energy usage, the advanced LED technology and minimal light emissions means that less than 4KwH of energy is used, ensuring minimal impact on nature and wildlife. Beyond The Trees is operating their Night Lights event from Saturday November 11th until Sunday January 21st. You can book your tickets here. If you are looking to experience the Treetop Night Lights, just ensure you book after 4pm. It should also be noted that the slide is not in operation during this time for safety reasons.
