Get ready for a magical evening!

Wander through the enchanting illuminated trail at Sandringham Estate, all set to soothing ambient tunes. As you stroll through the historic Country Park, you'll encounter around 13 dazzling highlights that will leave you in awe.

The trail is about a mile long and should take anywhere from 60 to 90 minutes, depending on your pace.

Cosy up by our fire pit and enjoy toasting marshmallows (bring your own or buy them on-site!). Treat yourself to delicious food and drinks from the Sandringham Courtyard cafe/kiosk at the start or end of your journey, or enjoy a warm drink from our kiosk halfway through.

Remember, it’s an outdoor adventure during winter nights, so it can get chilly, dark, and sometimes wet. Bundle up and wear sturdy shoes!

Keep in mind, Luminate doesn't feature traditional festive decorations or Father Christmas—he's busy up at the North Pole preparing for the big day!

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 an incredible time, please stick to the clearly marked trail. We kindly ask that children and vulnerable adults are always closely watched. Since Luminate happens during winter nights at a country estate, areas off the trail might have some hidden hazards. So, please follow the path and listen to our friendly staff for any guidance.

Our team will keep an eye on the trail conditions, but remember, it's a winter evening event in a natural setting. A little extra caution goes a long way. Don't forget to keep an eye on kiddos and vulnerable folks.

Get ready to have fun with our interactive light installations! They're marked and have stewards nearby to help you out. For your safety, please avoid touching other lights or installations, and ensure children and vulnerable adults do the same. Enjoy the magic!
