Festive Illumination Trail
6th-28th December 2025 | From 4:30pm-7:30pm
The best light trail in Bristol returns for its 4th spectacular year, and we can’t wait to share the magic of 2025 with you. Wander through glowing walkways, marvel at sparkling installations, and soak up the festive cheer in our Christmas Village as the Country Park and Estate are transformed into an enchanting after-dark experience to remember. Free parking is included for all visitors.
Make an evening of it in our Christmas Village, where the whole family can share in the festive fun. Toast your free marshmallows over the fire pits, get creative with free activities in our Crafty Cabin, purchase a warm glass of mulled wine or hot chocolate, and enjoy our famous apple crumble with cream or custard. Dogs are welcome too, so no one has to miss out on the fun. Don’t forget our Quiet Monday sessions, featuring reduced noise and lower capacity for anyone who prefers a calmer experience.
New for 2025, our Illumination Trail is taking a brand new direction – quite literally! This year we have created a new and refreshed route, ready for you to stroll and soak in the magic. The Adventure Park will be lit up for even more twilight adventures for the little ones, and our festive market stalls will be brimming with seasonal treasures – perfect for finding a little gift or treat for someone special.
Whether it’s your first visit or your fourth, Old Down’s Illumination Trail promises a spectacular journey of lights, festive cheer, and magical memories for both family and friends to enjoy.
