Cue the magical soundtrack, and let your feet do the walking through Margam Country Park and Castle! 🌟

As you wander, the gardens and castle exterior come alive with dazzling lights and playful displays. This year's trail is like last years, but bigger, bolder, and with an extra sprinkle of pixie dust! Stretching about a mile, it’s the perfect excuse to stretch your legs and maybe your patience (depending on how often you stop for selfies). Expect to spend 60-90 magical minutes on this journey.

Need a break? Swing by our fire pit for some marshmallow-toasting action (grab some on-site or BYOM – bring your own marshmallows, don’t forget the skewers). And when hunger strikes, we've got you covered with our Courtyard café and a lineup of street food vendors serving up delicious bites until about 9pm. Don’t forget to swing by our drinks and mulled wine huts for a bit of liquid cheer! 🍷

Follow the twinkling festoon lights along the path, and you'll never lose your way! 😊 Friendly stewards are also there along the trail to guide you, ensuring you have a smooth and enjoyable experience.

To keep everyone safe and make sure you have a blast, please stick to the clearly marked trail at all times. Kids and vulnerable adults need to be watched closely. Since Luminate happens during winter nights in a country estate, areas off the path may have hidden trip hazards. So, stay on track and follow any advice from our friendly stewards.

At Luminate Wales, there are unfenced water areas off the trail. Keep an extra eye on the little ones and vulnerable adults!

Our team will be checking trail conditions continuously, but remember, it's an outdoor event in winter after dark, so a bit of caution goes a long way. Supervision of children and vulnerable adults is key!

Enjoy our interactive light installations—they're a lot of fun! Just look for the ones marked for interaction, with stewards nearby to help out. Please avoid touching any other lights or electrical setups, and keep supervising your group to ensure everyone's safe.

 

Please note, dogs aren't allowed, except for guide dogs and assistance dogs. Enjoy your magical night with us! 😊

 

🐾 Hey there, fellow dog lovers! For everyone's safety and fun, we kindly ask that you leave your furry friends at home when visiting Luminate, except for guide and assistance dogs. But guess what? We've got some pawsome news! 🐶

We're thrilled to announce that, due to popular demand, Luminate is once again opening its doors to our furry friends on a limited number of special nights! Dogs will be welcome to join their two legged friends on more dates than ever this year. Look for the dog symbol on the calendar.

Our furry friends are welcome on these nights, provided at all times their owners follow the rules below:

All dogs must be accompanied by a responsible adult and remain under the supervision and control of the responsible adult at all times.

2 dogs per adult max

As with all two legged guests, dogs must remain on the clearly marked footpath at all times.

Dogs must be kept on a short lead at all times - no extendable leads please.

Dogs must not be left unattended at any time.

Any dogs behaving aggressively (including towards other dogs) will not be allowed to enter the trail or will be asked to leave. Luminate reserves the right to refuse entry or to remove any dogs we feel are dangerous/a safety risk to other dogs and visitors or any which are causing a disturbance and disrupting the event for other visitors.

Please be a responsible dog owner - clean up after your pet and use the bins provided.

Thank you in advance for co-operating with these rules to ensure everyone’s safety and enjoyment. Failure to comply with any of the above rules will result in your dog being denied entry/removed from the trail.



*** XL BULLY DOGS** We do not allow XL Bully Dogs and/or banned/dangerous breed dogs at Luminate. Entry will be denied to any person attempting to bring those breeds on site.



You know your dog best, Luminate is a fun filled magical element, with flashing lights, smoke effects, loud music and lots of people. If your dog is likely to be unsettled/distressed /aggressive because of any of this, please do not bring them.
