Join us to celebrate the “shortest day of the year” at the Winter Solstice Bonfire on Sunday, December 21 from 5-9 p.m. in the Allerton Meadow!The winter solstice marks the official beginning of winter and has been celebrated in a variety of ways for thousands of years, traditionally honoring the imminent return of the sun and symbolizing new beginnings.
In addition to the bonfire (lit around 6 p.m.), take time to stroll through Holiday GLOW and warm up with a drink from the bar or meal from a food truck or the Greenhouse Café (open 5-9 p.m. with a limited menu).
Complete your visit with an overnight stay in the Mansion or one of our guesthouses. View rooms here and make your reservation by calling 217-333-3287.
