Forest of Secrets at Kelmarsh Hall

Kelmarsh Hall and Gardens is delighted to announce Forest of Secrets, a brand-new immersive nighttime experience transforming the estate’s historic woodland and gardens into an enchanting world of light, sound, storytelling and interactive magic.

Created by husband-and-wife team, Emma and Mason of Figment Creative Works, Forest of Secrets invites families, friends and visitors of all ages to step into an ancient woodland where magic, mystery and storytelling come to life.

Running from 31st October 2026 until 2nd January 2027, the experience will take visitors on a lantern-lit journey through a forest slowly awakening from centuries of slumber. Along the trail, guests will encounter breathtaking light installations, immersive soundscapes, theatrical scenes and interactive moments as they uncover hidden secrets and piece together the story of a magical world coming to life.

Set against the natural beauty of Kelmarsh’s historic landscape, Forest of Secrets promises an atmospheric evening of wonder, discovery and shared adventure – offering visitors a completely new way to experience the estate after dark.

Rachel Halley, Estate Director at Kelmarsh Hall, said: “We are delighted to be welcoming Figment Creative to Kelmarsh Hall and Gardens for this truly magical experience. Kelmarsh is a wonderful place all year round, so we are thrilled that our visitors will be able to experience the beauty of the estate through the autumn and winter months in such a unique and exciting way.”

Emma and Mason of Figment Creative Works said: "We’ve always believed that the best experiences are the ones that let people escape the everyday, share a little magic together and remember long after they go home. Forest of Secrets has been created from the ground up to do exactly that, and we’re incredibly excited to bring this original world to life at Kelmarsh."

Forest of Secrets has been created with families, friends and visitors of all ages in mind. Entry times will run from 5.00pm until 9.00pm, allowing guests to arrive as twilight falls and experience the woodland as it transforms beneath the night sky.

Parking and booking fees are included in every ticket, making for a relaxed and straightforward evening out.

Throughout the evening, visitors can also enjoy a selection of hot food, snacks, seasonal drinks and sweet treats, provided by local caterers Portfolio Events Ltd. Food will be available both before and after the trail in the Stableyard at Kelmarsh.

Guests are encouraged to capture their favourite moments and share the magic on social media as the enchanted woodland comes alive each night.
