We actually visited the Stockwood illuminations, it was great for adults and children alike. It's a 45 minute trail, very beautiful. If you've been before there is so much more this year. I think there are still tickets available. They also have stalls at the end to get something to eat or drink and the cafe is open. Only downside :) is your pictures cannot capture it all.
