Our award-winning light trail will be returning to the magnificent Bute Park in Cardiff this winter. Experience brand new, jaw-dropping illuminations, along an accessible route around the historic grounds near Cardiff Castle. Enjoy comforting pit stops along the way, with a selection of mouth watering food from local traders and festive drinks at the bars in the Christmas Village.

The ground conditions at Christmas at Bute Park are suitable for wheelchair users. The route is mostly on even ground, with a small number of ramped areas. There is a mixture of hard paths and temporary matting used. Please keep in mind however, that due to the event taking place in winter, in Wales, that the paths may contain puddles and muddy patches which may take a bit longer to get through.

Yes, there are a large variety of local street food vendors and bars to choose from on your visit. Check out XMAS VILLAGE for further information!

All food & drink traders take card payments only, the event is fully cashless.

The trail includes pulsing, flashing, and moving lighting effects, including strobes and lasers, that may affect people with photosensitivity.

We are proud to host Neuro-inclusive evenings every year at our event. We reduce capacity by 60%, we lower volume levels of audio and allow the audience plenty of time to make their way around the trail. We also have plenty of stewards along the trial, should the need occur to leave the trail early.

We will announce dates for these evenings once we have announced our on-sale dates.

Well-behaved dogs with responsible owners are welcome. Dogs must be kept on a lead at all times and be comfortable with large crowds, loud noises and fire.

Yes, 80% of the light trail will be brand new installations.
