Every Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 21 November to 21 December, Gilbert White’s House & Gardens will be hosting White’s Eco Light Festival.
This is a light festival with a difference – they will be using renewable energy sources, solar power and low-level lighting with environmental consciousness at its core, remembering Gilbert White and his internationally important legacy to ecology. Fun for all the family, this is a chance to make new memories and discover how you can make changes to help wildlife and the environment around you.
The festival has been supported with more than £41,000 from our Rural Grant Scheme, part of the Grow Up! Programme.

People around the world will make a pact with themselves to take a break from consumption as a personal experiment or public statement, and the best thing is - IT'S FREE!!!
