Our festive Light Trail returns in 2026 to illuminate the castle and its grounds, bigger and more spectacular than ever! This year, enjoy brand-new installations and thousands of shimmering lights spread across the castle grounds.

As dusk arrives, immerse yourself in breath-taking surroundings brought to life by larger-than-life illuminations. Wander through beautiful gardens adorned with twinkling trees and mesmerising projections lighting up the night sky.

Each year we welcome one and all to come and spend time under the starry night sky and dazzling Christmas lights to spark imagination and festive cheer at this time of year.
