Booking and managing tickets to Ashridge House Illuminations couldn’t be easier, thanks to a booking system that allows visitors to easily change the day of their visit in case of wet weather at absolutely no extra cost.
Due to last year’s popularity of dog-friendly sessions, dogs will be once again welcome to join their humans on the trail every Wednesday and Thursday evenings. Pups and humans alike will have the opportunity to visit the extended festive Food Village, which promises to deliver a bigger and cosier experience than last year, with even more seasonal favourites, warming drinks, and sweet treats from local traders.
Confirmed traders will be serving:
Woodfire Pizza
Burger and chips
Lebanese Grill
Noodles
Toasties
Waffles
Crumble
Marshmallows
And much more!
