Where’s the Best Place to See Winter Lights in Yorkshire?

Visit Stockeld Park for a Spectacular Christmas Illuminations 

Don't let darker winter evenings dim your spirits! Our Winter Illuminations shine bright as one of Yorkshire's best light trails, enjoyed by thousands throughout the festive season.

Whether you’re visiting as a family, with friends, or on a date, Stockeld Park is the place to be this winter. In this blog, we’ll take you through what to expect and what else you can do while visiting us. 

Is Stockeld Park for Adults?

Yes! While our adventure park is loved by families year-round, our winter activities are especially popular with adults. 

There is something magical about our park: once you step in, you’ll feel like a kid again, free from worry and filled with excitement as you explore what wonders lie ahead. 

If you’ve always been a kid at heart, feel free to enjoy our outdoor play areas, which are sure to bring about a smile or two!

What Will You See at the Winter Illuminations? 

Our Winter Illuminations take place in our Enchanted Forest, an ancient woodland with acres of hidden adventure play to enjoy. You are greeted with magnificent illuminations, displayed deep within the forest and up above, to keep you on the right path. 

As you follow our winter lights trail, you’ll come across animated installations, paired with exciting visual effects and a soundscape to transport you into another world.

At the heart of our woodlands is our huge light show, which lasts just a few short minutes before starting again. This display is an enchanting spectacle, filled with festive surprises and twinkling lights that dance away in the sky.

If you need something to keep you warm, you can grab a hot drink at Gretel’s Cabin as you make your way through the rest of the woodland.
