Its Back… 2023 will see the return of our Festive Illumination Trail! A magical sensory experience that lights the beauty of our Country Park. This year, our after dark event will feature a Starry Night trail guiding you around Old Down Estate, surrounding you with music, colour and light with interactive areas along the way. A truly magical Christmas experience for children and adults to explore.

This year we are introducing ‘Sensitive Sessions’ on our Monday evening illumination events. These sessions will feature reduced noise and less capacity to appeal to anyone who would prefer a more sensitive experience.

We are a dog friendly venue and dogs are more than welcome to join you on this magical trial. We simply ask you keep all dogs on a lead and clean up any mess after them.

Avoid disappointment and book in advance as this event is likely to sell out; slots available from 16.30pm.

*Tickets only include access to the Illumination Trail, our adventure park equipment will be closed.
