Himley Hall Christmas Light Trail 2026

Presented by Enchanted Adventures Co.

The Himley Hall Christmas Light Trail returns for 2026, bigger, brighter, and more magical than ever. Following the success of previous years, we have carefully listened to visitor feedback and made significant enhancements to deliver a richer, more immersive festive experience for families and visitors of all ages.

Set within the stunning grounds of Himley Hall, the 2026 trail expands far beyond the walled garden and deeper into the parkland, making full use of the estate’s beautiful landscape. This year, the route is double the length, offering guests more to explore, more to discover, and even more festive magic along the way.

Visitors will journey through a captivating Christmas-themed light trail filled with glowing pathways, immersive installations, and beautifully illuminated displays. By blending nature with dazzling light sculptures, atmospheric effects, and interactive moments, the experience now offers a greater sense of scale, discovery, and wonder.
