Christmas at Belton

Winter Lights Trail brought to you at Belton House by Raymond Gubbay Ltd (Sony Music) in partnership with the National Trust.

Latest visiting update: 31 Dec – 3 Jan - Christmas at Belton will remain open for those in Tier 4.

We're working closely with our partners to bring the magic of our winter light trail to you safely, in line with government guidance. The safety and wellbeing of our visitors, staff and volunteers is of utmost importance to us.

For those who wish to attend, Belton House is open for the Light Trail in the evening, further to the updated government guidance published on the 23 December. We have been advised by the Local Councils, Environmental Health and Government to ensure that we are working within the new Light Trail Tier 4 guidelines (published on 23 Dec).  Find out more here.

We ask that all visitors who live within Tiers 1,2, or 3 adhere to the new restrictions and therefore not to visit Belton House at this time.  All ticket holders are being contacted. Thank you for your patience during this time.

The magical, after-dark, illuminated trail

Enter a world festooned with seasonal cheer enhanced by a soundtrack of festive classics and wander beneath unique tree canopies drenched in Christmas colour.

Discover giant luminescent candles rising high into the night sky on your way towards a meadow of light shimmering as it gently sways. There are giant baubles, glowing flowers and snowflakes where you least expect them and clusters of trees wrapped in ever-changing ribbons of colour.

The tunnel of light returns with twinkling splendour and this year why not pause for a moment of quiet reflection at the water-side scented fire garden, aglow with hundreds of flickering flames?

Have yourself a merry little Christmas and complete your walk under the stars with mulled wine or hot chocolate*. Don't forget to watch out for Father Christmas along the way.
