When to go
Displays here switch on around sunset. In Suffolk that means about 4:50 PM in early December and 4:51 PM by mid-month — the earliest sunsets of the year fall right in the middle of lights season. It is properly dark by about 5:20 PM, which is when the displays look their best. December nights in Suffolk typically drop to around 34°F.
