The event, which is sponsored by Specsavers, will raise money for the Lions Club of Guernsey as well as the local branch of Cancer Research UK.

It will take place from 18:00 to 20:30 on Wednesday 4 December.

Some changes are being made this year though, with a new ‘Elf Christmas Trail’, inspired by the popular fairy door trail launched in the island earlier this year. Denise McGahy of Iris & Dora has created ten festive elf doors, which will be dotted around the garden for children to find.

This year’s entertainment will include a pony petting area and a traditional Santa’s Grotto

As usual, Specsavers will provide free buses from the company’s car park to shuttle visitors back and forth to the venue.

People are advised to bring a torch and car share where possible. Tickets are priced at £6 for adults and £2 for children aged between three and 12.

They are available from Stan Brouard, Earlswood Garden Centre, Creaseys, Shoestring, Woodies, St Peter’s Post Office, Forest Sore and the Cancer Research shop. Visitors must have a ticket to enter.
