Here we have put together a list of some amazing light trails that you need to visit this festive season! Where you can immerse yourself in the outdoor Christmas lights that will surround you as you follow the light trail.

1. Thursford’s Enchanted Journey Of Light

As dusk falls upon Norfolk, the magic will begin!

You’ll pass by penguins as well as polar bears on your way to huge teddy bears! Prepare to be amazed as you watch how the elves loaded Santa’s sleigh, then go past the industrious elves busy working in the gift factory using the amazing wrapping machine!
You’ll meet a number of fantasy world characters along the way, including the snowman family, so keep an eye out for their snowballs!

Your adventure continues outdoors, where you’ll find the Lantern Light Extravaganza, which is larger and better than ever for 2021 and packed with new animals to see: a stunning, breath-taking celebration of luminous sculptures ranging from a mythical aquatic realm to the wilds of the North Pole. Keep an eye out for the mischievous mushroom gnomes!

2. Christmas at Longleat

This Christmas at Longleat, everything is glistening with song and magic! Sing songs with the UK’s largest singing Christmas tree, go through the Love Labyrinth, which is lit up with lights and disco balls!

Admire the 20-meter-tall tree as it sings your favourite Christmas carols for a magnificent light and 3D mapping projection show in the Stable Yard, complete with flurrying snow flakes.

If you walk to the front of Longleat House, you’ll be taken through a 50-meter light tunnel for a sensory experience that leads to a festive-filled show. Over 100 brightly lighted Christmas trees surround the Front of Longleat House Show, which blends synced lights in time to some great Christmas melodies.

Explore the Jungle Kingdom and Monkey Temple on the Wonderland Walk. Along the icy walkways, a lovely trail of lit sculptured flowers. For a fantastic experience, go through the Love Labyrinth, which is lit up with lights and shimmering disco balls. Listen to carols in the Park’s Main Square to get into the holiday mood.

3. Christmas at Blenheim Palace

The after-dark illuminated trail sparkling in The Great Outdoors…

When over a million lights, lasers, and seasonal music fill the air with festive excitement across the Palace’s picture-perfect grounds, it’s the most lovely time of the year. Enjoy some quality time with family and friends as you explore glistening light tunnels, shimmering lakeside reflections, and jewel-like coloured trees. Pause at the mesmerising flickering flames in the fire garden for a moment of introspection, gaze up at the larger-than-life illuminations, and don’t forget to get a peek of Father Christmas along the way.

Their creative independent street food sellers provide a delightful touch to the tempting foods on offer. Enjoy a merry, jolly Christmas with a spiced winter warmer or a hot chocolate enjoyed with someone special after your walk beneath the stars.

We hope we have helped you find some incredible outdoor lights to visit this festive season!
