WOLLATON PARK AIMS TO ‘WOW’ VISITORS WITH IMMERSIVE DISPLAY USING 250,000 LIGHTS

THE Christmas lights event at Wollaton has become a bit of a holiday tradition in recent years as a quarter of a million light sources transform the night sky into a dazzling display.

This year, the show promises to be even bigger and better than ever, combining the lights with the magic of a seasonal Christmas market.

The beautiful light show has been curated by the same team that designed the previous shows with fifteen new dazzling displays including a huge finale.

There will be lots of opportunit­ies to stay warm with a mince pie or two along the trail as little huts are dotted among the displays. Not only that but plenty of mulled wine and chances to roast marshmallo­ws.

If you have been before, there will be plenty of new designs to keep you entertaine­d with all new light shows.

“This year we have come up with a much more colourful and vibrant experience for visitors,” said Andy Kennett, trail designer. “We have a couple of old favourites like the laser gardens which have come back in a new location which is even bigger and more immersive than last year and we have a new Christmas tree.”

The teams, which include 10 light installers, five audio technician­s, five electricia­ns and more have been hard at work to get the display ready for the grand switch-on today. Tickets have already begun to sell out with visitors keen to see the new show.
