After-dark illuminated trail set to open at Temple Newsam this Christmas

The estate is getting ready to welcome a glittering Illuminated trail from November 26, 2021 to January 2, 2022.

Attendees will be able to "explore a magical trail, featuring spectacular light installations enchanting visitors with classical Christmas tunes and transforming the estate’s ‘Capability’ Brown landscaped grounds and gardens".

A spokesperson for Temple Newsam said: "There will be a carpet of gentle colour changing spheres, neon strings stretched between towering trees, a flotilla of festive, brightly coloured boats bobbing on the lake, glitterball snowmen and plenty of selfie moments along the way."

New trail highlights for 2021 include a Christmas Cathedral complete with 100,000 lights and a Neon Tree with branches interwoven with multicoloured lights.

Independent street food vendors will also be available on site.

The spokesperson continued: "Have yourself a holly, jolly Christmas and complete your walk under the stars with *toasted marshmallows, a *spiced winter warmer or *hot chocolate shared with someone special.

"My Christmas at Temple Newsam provides a special way to celebrate the festive season with an unmissable outdoor experience.

"The trail is designed for visitors of all ages and is accessible to all to enjoy."
