Visitors to Christmas at Wimpole can expect a host of new light installations and a different route to last year when the festive extravaganza opens.

The popular Christmas lights trail, which runs from 25 November 2022 until 1 January 2023, features an array of installations from artists across Europe.

The magical trail, featuring spectacular light installations and enchanting visitors with seasonal Christmas classics, will transform the estate's landscaped grounds and garden.

General Manager at Wimpole, Polly Ingham-Watts said: “We're thrilled to have Christmas at Wimpole returning for a second year.

“The trails give visitors the opportunity to see Wimpole Estate in a different light, with some of the most iconic Wimpole views; the grand façade of the Hall, Walled Gardens and Pleasure Ground, coming alive with twinkling lights and colour.”

Among the new installations is 'In Bloom' by London-based art collective, toystudio, a star-like shape casting colourful intricate shadows across the landscape.

Other curated installations include a huge heart-shaped tunnel with over 1000 pea lights, a Snowflake Walk, giant reed-shaped neon plants; and Floraison, which features hundreds of poppy-shaped flowers suspended in the branches of trees.

Spend time together and create everlasting memories as you wander between the specially chosen illuminations, all choreographed to a soundtrack of Christmas classics. Pause at the mesmerising flickering flames in the fire garden and don't forget to glimpse Father Christmas along the way.

Independent street food vendors bring a delicious twist with tasty treats on offer. Complete your walk under the stars with a *spiced winter warmer or *hot chocolate shared with friends and family. Everyone loves toasting a marshmallow over an open fire and the artisan *marshmallow stall gives visitors the chance to warm their hands and enjoy this sweet outdoor tradition.

Christmas at Wimpole provides a special way to celebrate the festive season with an unmissable outdoor experience. The trail is designed for visitors of all ages to enjoy.
