Country park’s winter trail returns to light up our lives
THE illuminated after-dark trail that took South Wales by storm last year will be returning to the grounds of Margam Country Park in the run-up to Christmas.
Luminate Wales will see the Port Talbot attraction lit up once more from November 19 to December 24 this year.
During this year’s spectacular winter event, visitors will follow a mile-long light trail around the historic gardens of the park.
The company behind the event, Luminate UK, has linked up with Carers Trust Wales as its nominated charity partner for this year.
As part of this partnership, Luminate Wales will be donating approximately 1,600 tickets to Carers Trust Wales.
With the aim of raising funds for Carers Trust Wales, there is an option for bookers to leave a donation for the charity partner when booking tickets.
Daniel Maycock, of Luminate Wales, said: “We are so pleased to be bringing Luminate back to Margam Park. It’s a fantastic venue and we are looking forward to showcasing some new installations as well as bringing back some of the favourites from last year.
“Being outside and with our extra Covid19 precautions, we are really confident this can be a safe and fun activity for all the family this Christmas time.”
Councillor Peter Rees, Neath Port Talbot Council’s cabinet member for education, skills and culture, added: “After what has been a difficult year for many, it will be nice to end the year with this special event that everyone can enjoy in Neath Port Talbot.”
