Keep reading for the chance to win a family ticket for two adults and up to four children to The Alnwick Garden and Lilidorei – Two Worlds, One Magical Destination

Step into a place where imagination runs wild, where nature is full of surprises, and where adventure lives around every corner. The Alnwick Garden and Lilidorei sit side by side in the heart of Northumberland but they couldn’t be more different. One is a breathtaking contemporary garden built to surprise and delight. The other is a spellbinding village full of mystery, magic and mischievous fun.

Together, they offer an experience like no other in the UK.

The Alnwick Garden

This isn’t your typical garden.

Beneath the sweeping branches of ancient trees and across the sparkling pathways of a modern landscape, The Alnwick Garden invites you to explore, play, and discover. Created by The Duchess of Northumberland, this isn’t a garden designed to be admired from afar - it’s a garden made to be experienced.

From the tumbling power of the Grand Cascade to the serenity of the Cherry Orchard, every corner offers something unexpected. Children dash through jets of water in the interactive fountain garden. Adults linger over cocktails in the Pavilion. Explorers young and old brave the secrets of The Poison Garden, home to some of the world’s most dangerous plants.

Seasonal planting keeps the Garden alive with colour, scent, and sound all year round. Whether it’s the frothy blossom of spring, the lavender haze of summer, or the crisp crunch of autumn leaves, there’s always something new to see and a reason to come back.

The Alnwick Garden is more than a visitor attraction. It’s a registered charity, using the power of horticulture and community to change lives across the North-East. Every ticket supports outreach programmes that tackle loneliness, improve wellbeing, and bring people together.

Lilidorei

Next door, hidden under a canopy of trees, lies a place quite unlike anywhere else.

Lilidorei (pronounced Lil-ee-dor-ee) is the world’s biggest play structure… but that’s just the beginning. It’s a mysterious village ruled by nine rival clans, each with their own traditions, stories, and secrets. No screens. No batteries. Just pure imagination and endless opportunities for children to make their own fun.

At the heart of Lilidorei stands a towering wooden fortress - where slides, ladders and climbing walls turn kids into adventurers. Friendly Secret Keepers are on hand to guide your journey and spark your imagination with storytelling, games, and play.

Lilidorei is designed to encourage creativity, curiosity and confidence in children, with plenty of space for grown-ups to join in—or grab a coffee and enjoy the view.

Whether you come for peace, play, or a little bit of both, The Alnwick Garden and Lilidorei promise a day out you’ll never forget.
