The Glow trail has been reimagined for 2025 to light up winter nights.
Running on selected dates between November 19 and December 23, visitors can experience new light displays and enjoy festive food and Christmas shopping along the way.
A spokesperson said: “As the nights draw in, the magic begins.
“Step into a garden that comes alive with twinkling lights and festive cheer at RHS Harlow Carr Glow.
“On a reimagined trail for 2025, wander through familiar landscapes now shimmering with festive brilliance. Discover new surprises at every turn, with hidden vistas bathed in soft glows and bold beams, creating a magical, atmospheric journey like never before.
“Experience a mesmerising display of light and colour, from magnificent trees bathed in brilliant hues to the breathtaking Thaliana Bridge lit up to reveal its striking architectural beauty and magnificent reflections across the Queen Mother’s Lake.
“Be immersed in the kaleidoscope of festive colour and thousands of glittering lights.
“It’s a perfect backdrop for family get-togethers and spending time with friends and loved ones at this special time of year.”
Sarah Mullan, public programming manager, said: “We are thrilled with this year’s brand new RHS Glow route which really showcases RHS Garden Harlow Carr in a whole new light!
“We really wanted to celebrate RHS Garden Harlow Carr’s most spectacular vistas and transform the garden into magical winter wonderland and it’s looking fantastic.
“We are really excited to bring some new interactive elements to the trail this year including ‘Octave’, an interactive light and sound experience, as well as marshmallow toasting for the first time, so there really is something for all the family to enjoy.”
