About This Event

The Great Christmas Gnome Adventure is a seasonal attraction at Winkworth Arboretum in Guildford. It features giant woodland characters inspired by Scandinavian folklore. Admission is required to participate in this festive event.

This festive season, giant woodland characters have made their home at Winkworth Arboretum. Inspired by Scandinavian folklore and winter traditions, each one has its own distinctive personality and colourful hat.

Pick up a trail booklet and set off on an adventure through the arboretum to meet Scottie, Ginger, Stella, Ralph and their friends. Along the way, complete playful challenges, collect embossings and discover the stories behind each character.

After your adventure, warm up in the café and browse the shop, making Winkworth Arboretum the perfect place to enjoy a festive family day out this winter.
