Hide AdRunning from October 21 to November 14, it will showcase a host of new, exciting festival themed features including Kaleidoscope, Rubik’s Cube, Loo Lane, Welly World and UV Madness.
It will set off from the 300-year old stately home, and the 2km woodland walk will take in secret paths, amongst ancient woodlands and clearings and past the atmospheric old summerhouse, before returning via the Lime Avenue to the dazzling sight of an illuminated Hopetoun House.
En route, along with creative lighting, there will also be several sound and special effects installations.
Last year’s inaugural event attracted over 35,000 visitors.
This year’s festival is expected to out-sell that with social distancing measures now permitting visitors to travel from across Scotland.

“We have put a lot of thought into this year’s trail because we wanted to produce something that is fun and exciting, but also pays tribute to the many events and festivals that have been cancelled.”
