Enter a garden of wonder this festive season

Welcome to a Christmas wonderland of colour, characters and lights, lights and more lights.

This is the Garden of Lights at Emperors Palace where the spirit of Christmas is alive and waiting to enchant you.

The event, which has become a must on many people’s festive-season calendar, promises fun for the whole family, featuring a winter wonderland, light extravaganza and Yuletide adventure, all rolled into one.

The garden is open until January 5 and is sure to bring a smile to anyone’s face.

It takes place in the picturesque gardens of the five-star Peermont D’oreale Grande Hotel.

“Over the years, the Garden of Lights has celebrated the festive season with over 1.4-million visitors who come to enjoy a fantastic range of family-friendly activities,” said Clive Tavener, general manager for Emperors Palace.

“In keeping with the spirit of giving, visitors to the Garden of Lights will be delighted to know that proceeds from the entrance fee will be donated to Reach for a Dream, the Peermont Children’s Fund, the Peermont Education Trust, as well as 10 other charities supported by our employees.”

This year’s edition of the Garden of Lights sees Santa Claus once again spreading cheer far and wide, with opportunities for the whole family to capture a memorable moment with jolly old St Nick.

Other whimsical characters waiting to meet you in the garden include the Christmas Elves, Mr Snowman, the Enchanted Princess, the Festive Fairy and the Candyman.

There will also be loads of sweets, treats and toys available at the Candyland stall for the children.

Wander through the magical Enchanted Garden and be transported to a whimsical wonderland of festive cheer.

Be sure to make a stop at the Mystic Castle and Magic Sweet Shop before heading for the North Pole and peeking into Santa’s Workshop to see the elves tinkering on presents for Santa’s list.

The fun doesn’t end there – families can also enjoy all their favourite rides at the funfair, including a Ferris wheel and so much more.

The gates will be open daily from 7pm until 10pm (last entry at 9.30pm), weather permitting.

In the event of overcast and rainy weather, ticket holders will be contacted via SMS to move their booking.
