NEW FOR 2024

New for 2024

As total eager-beavers, we are already working hard on our creative plans for this winter & are very excited about the new additions we are adding to the light trail.

We have completely re-imagined the route this year, shaking up how we have run the trail for the past 3 years. We are beyond ecstatic to share some of our new installations with you, made by some incredible artists.

We are also planning a bigger and better Christmas Village, we will announce this year’s food and drink vendors later in the year – expect lots of yummy food and tasty drinks!
