The Wollaton Winter Light Trail will return to Wollaton Hall & Deer Park in Nottingham from Wednesday 25 November 2026 until Sunday 3 January 2027. Tickets go on sale at 11am on Friday 4 September, according to Visit Nottinghamshire Events.

The family-friendly and dog-friendly trail will combine illuminated installations with festive food, drinks and children’s attractions. Standard ticket prices have not yet been provided, but Nottingham city residents can receive a 10% discount until 30 September by entering their council tax number and postcode.

Light, sound and seasonal stories return to Wollaton

Following its debut last Christmas, the trail will again transform Wollaton Hall’s historic grounds with light, sound and seasonal storytelling. The planned route will feature large-scale illuminated displays, atmospheric environments and festive surprises.

The supplied event information does not reveal individual installation themes or the precise form the seasonal stories will take. That leaves the full visual programme under wraps while confirming that the experience will extend beyond a sequence of standalone lights.

Its late-November opening places the trail across the main festive period, with the final date falling on Sunday 3 January 2027. Visitors can therefore choose from dates before Christmas, during the holiday period or immediately after New Year.

Food and seasonal activities will sit alongside the illuminated route. Confirmed attractions include marshmallow toasting, independent food vendors, mini chalets and a children’s funfair.

The drinks selection is set to include mulled wine, frosty biers and hot chocolate. The combination of a light trail, funfair and food stalls makes the event particularly relevant to families, while its dog-friendly status opens it to visitors hoping to bring a pet.

The ticket dates Nottingham residents should note

General ticket sales begin at 11am on Friday 4 September. Nottingham city residents have a separate deadline to consider: the 10% local discount is available only until 30 September and requires both a council tax number and postcode.

The source has not yet supplied standard ticket prices, daily opening times, transport guidance or accessibility information. Prospective visitors should account for those outstanding details before finalising a visit; the next confirmed step is the opening of ticket sales on 4 September.
