Day Trip Alnwick Gardens & Lilidorei

Lilidorei (pronounced Lil-ee-door-ee), is a magical village ruled by Lord Elfwin from high up in his tower Elfwin Drin (which happens to be the largest play structure in the world, don’t you know!). Lilidorei is home to our 9 clans – some friendly, some troublesome, who spend the entire year preparing for Christmas!

Despite their HUGE presence within Lilidorei, humans do not have the powers to physically see them! Fear not, it’s your job to work out the secrets of Lilidorei and create your own story of the mysteries that lie within this magical village.

Lilidorei aims to create an environment that encourages both imaginary and physical play. Although you cannot see our mystic creatures that live here, you may hear them when walking round our immersive soundscape that has been created and you can peep in the clan’s habitats and find out more about how they live!

Every effort has been made to make the site as accessible as possible; however, there are some features such as parts of Elfwin Drin that are not accessible. Information on accessibility can be found here.

We welcome all types of mobility scooters and manual wheelchairs and ask our visitors that main walkways and paths are always kept clear to accommodate this.

Explore The Alnwick Garden 

Built to be unconventional, The Alnwick Garden is a unique, contemporary garden in the heart of Northumberland. Lose yourself in the mysterious Bamboo Labyrinth, explore the perils of The Poison Garden or gaze upon the Sage Wealth Management Grand Cascade.
