Wrap up warm, pull on your wellies and head out as the sun begins to set to visit one of the amazing light trail events around the country. With trees lit up with fairy lights, projections on buildings and the smell of hot chocolate and roasted chestnuts in the air, it is sure to be a great evening out.
