Revel in exclusive after-hours access to A Longwood Christmas—including the new West Conservatory—and capture this festive display at your leisure!
If you’ve dreamt of a quiet, after-hours photography session capturing the magic of A Longwood Christmas, this is your chance to enjoy exclusive time shooting in indoor and outdoor spaces in our Gardens. Plus, you’ll experience after-hours access in the brand-new West Conservatory the day it opens to the public. Start your experience with an online orientation and a brief discussion of night and low-light photography. Then, meet with instructor Andy Bale at the East Conservatory for an introduction before you are free to roam our Conservatory to capture the magic of the display at your own pace and with plenty of space. Reconvene back at the East Conservatory to conclude the photography session, then wrap up your experience with a friendly online critique and a chance to show off your work!
