Christmas at Belton

Christmas at Belton promises to be even more magical this year, with a new after-dark illuminated trail transforming the gardens into a twinkling winter wonderland.

  • Booking essential

From laser light shows to fire gardens, floating lights on the lake and brand-new projected illuminations on the house, Christmas at Belton promises to be better than ever this year.

This year’s trail promises even more ‘wow’ moments, with new highlights including a breathtaking 50-metre Aurora installation, a floral LED light display on the lake and a brand-new house projection.

Dogs on short leads will be welcome for the first time this year, ensuring that the whole family can enjoy this fantastic festive experience together. Doggy treats will even be offer at food outlets!

Seasonal treats on offer for visitors will include a Christmas Roast pizza, Santa’s Belly Buster hot dog, and a Festive Porker Yorkshire Pudding Wrap, as well as freshly made crepes, warm crumble and toasted marshmallows.

Plus, the family fun doesn't stop at the stunning lights as there'll also be a great selection of fairground rides including a Runaway Train, a Helter Skelter, a Ferris Wheel and Swing Boats. You can book ride tickets alongside admission.

As the event is hosted by an external partner, National Trust members will need to pay for the trail but are entitled to free parking which must be booked in advance. Please click the booking link for more information on opening dates and prices, including family tickets.
