Christmas Lights at Leeds Castle

Christmas Lights at Leeds Castle will return in winter 2026, as the historic estate is once again transformed into a breathtaking winter wonderland.

From the moment you arrive, you’ll step into a sparkling world of light and colour, following an enchanting illuminated trail through the Castle’s stunning grounds. With mesmerising light displays and immersive moments along the way, it’s an unforgettable festive evening for family and friends.

Seasonal food and drink will be available to purchase, adding to the magical atmosphere of this much-loved event.

Wander through the iconic Christmas Cathedral, a shimmering spectacle of light and holiday spirit, revisit the fan-favourite Fire Garden, step into the futuristic Laser Garden, and marvel at the Water Fountain Show. Plus, enjoy festive treats from our food and beverage stalls, from warming hot chocolate to seasonal delicacies.

And don’t forget to keep an eye out for Father Christmas – a magical encounter for the little ones!
