Wimpole Estate will host a Christmas light trail from November 20, 2026 to January 3, 2027.

Wimpole Estate will transform its historic gardens into an illuminated winter wonderland from November 20, 2026, to January 3, 2027. The light trail features immersive soundscapes and dazzling light installations set to seasonal music, created by internationally acclaimed producers.

Visitors will begin their journey under a canopy of twinkling lights before passing through the Christmas Cathedral and the glowing Fire Garden. The trail includes illuminated trees and a new interactive Ribbon Tunnel for 2026. Along the route, guests can enjoy festive food and drink, from burgers and hot dogs to cheese wheels and children's meals, with all stalls offering meat-free and gluten-free options.

James Dakin, director of live experiences at RG Live, said the event 'promises an evening of breath-taking light installations and festive discovery, with unexpected surprises woven throughout, creating memories that go well beyond a typical festive night'. Adult tickets start at £18 off-peak, rising to £26 during peak times, whilst children's tickets range from £13 to £19.50. All prices include a £1 booking fee, and infants under two years old can attend free. Organisers recommend booking early, as the event operates with limited capacity and timed entry slots.
