Winter, Wonder, Wander
3 Nov 2026 - 10 Nov 2026
Back for its fourth year, Winter, Wonder, Wander will see the David Welch Winter Gardens in Aberdeen's Duthie Park once again transformed with festive lights, family fun, and magical evening trails.
Duthie Park and David Welch Winter Gardens
In the 1900s the David Welch Winter Gardens was added to the park. Unfortunately, it was severely damaged in 1969 due to extreme gales, so it was demolished and replaced with the building we know and love today.
The ‘Winter Gardens’ now houses one of the most visited public indoor plant collections in Scotland and provides an oasis away from the typical North East weather! The Winter Gardens provides a unique venue for weddings and hosts an annual carol concert every December.
