Conservation Halton - Winterlit
About Winterlit:
Things move a little slower at Mountsberg in the winter; the city lights are far away, it’s so quiet you can hear the snow crunch beneath your boots, and you can take a breath of relaxation in the cool, crisp air. Winterlit is all about reconnecting with yourself, family, and friends in the beauty of nature. Experience the inspiring winter magic of Mountsberg from beneath a breathtaking display of lights at our award-winning event. Enjoy a moonlit stroll along two different paths featuring sustainably sourced, illuminated, art installations. Get cozy next to the bonfire as you take in the crisp air and the glow of smiling faces of family and friends while reflecting on the serenity natural spaces have brought us throughout the year.
