Get ready for a magical evening as you wander through the enchanting Coombe Abbey Park. You'll be mesmerized by stunning lights and delightful surprises at every twist and turn and with about 13 "wow" moments along this 2.4 km trail, you’re in for a treat!

Take your time and enjoy the journey, which should take between 60 to 90 minutes, depending on your pace. Cosy up by the fire pit to toast some marshmallows—bring your own, or grab some on site. Don't forget to check out the yummy food and drink options at the Kiosk in the Park.

Remember, it's all outdoors, so bundle up warmly and wear some sturdy shoes to keep comfy in the winter chill. While we won't have traditional festive decorations or a visit from Father Christmas (he's busy at the North Pole!), the experience will be nothing short of magical. Enjoy!

To keep everyone safe and having fun , please stick to the marked trail throughout your visit. Children and vulnerable adults should always have a watchful eye on them. Luminate happens in the winter evenings at a country estate, and areas off the trail might have hidden trip hazards. So, let's keep to the path and follow any advice from our friendly stewards.

Be aware that there are unfenced water areas off the trail at Luminate Coombe, so extra supervision for children and vulnerable adults is important.

Our team will keep an eye on trail conditions, but remember, it's a winter evening event in the great outdoors. A little extra caution will go a long way, especially when supervising kids and vulnerable adults.

Enjoy our interactive light installations—they're there for you to play with! These will be clearly marked, and our helpful stewards will be nearby to guide you. For safety and an enjoyable experience, please avoid touching other light or electrical setups, and keep an eye on the little ones.
