  • Light Up Winter 2025

Step into a whimsical woodland at this year’s Light Up Winter. A magical cascade of lights will transform The Anderson Park Rose Garden into a realm of enchantment and wonder. Be mesmerised by illuminating fairies and street performers, revel in the joyous atmosphere with live music and captivating performances. Wander through the Street Food Alleys brimming with a diverse range of delicious local flavours to appease every palate. Sparkle up with face-painting, and hop on board the ever popular Thomas The Tank Engine on the greenway express lane. Escape from the winter chill, and head to the Crystal Pavilion with local mulled wine or warming hot chocolate in hand, the perfect way to soak up the festive vibe of local performers stage-side. Take in the creative spirit of the Light Up Your Hat competition, as the evening culminates with the ever magical mass lantern release.

With gold coin entry, join us in Cromwell, where the heart of winter beats with the warmth of community and the magic of light.
