The Great Park gets glowing
Windsor: First visitors love new illuminations trail
Tickets have been selling ‘faster than expected’ for a new Christmas winter lights trail in Windsor.
Windsor Great Park Illuminated, run by the same events company behind Hyde Park Winter Wonderland, opened last week and features a field of lights that extends more than 1,400 square meters and offers an ‘enchanting experience’ for visitors.
The trail begins at the Savill Garden car park and ends at Windsor Great Park.
It takes visitors through a ‘dreamlike laser-scape’ amongst the trees, a cathedral of light, and an ethereal ship in recognition of Britain’s naval past.
Richard Guest-Gornall,
vice president of arts and entertainment events at IMG, said the feedback has been ‘fantastic’ and visitors have enjoyed the restored steam carousel from 1903 and the field of lights which dances to a soundtrack.
He added: “We’re thrilled to kick-off the festive season in Windsor with the inaugural Windsor Great Park Illuminated.
“The 2km trail is the perfect night out for families, groups of friends, or a romantic date night among the more than 10,000 lights.
“The response from the public has been incredible, with tickets selling faster than expected.
“We encourage everyone to book their visit as soon as possible to avoid missing out on their desired session.”
The organisers said the trail is run in accordance with COVID-19 guidelines and there will be regular cleaning of touch points and hand sanitisation stations with a timed entry system.
It runs until Sunday, January 9. It will be closed on Christmas Day.
The first entry will be 4.30pm and it will run until 10pm.
It will cost £21.45 for an adult ticket, £13.20 for a children and family tickets from £62.70.
