Warwick Castle's much-loved Festive Light Trail is set to return this winter - "brighter, bolder, and more enchanting than ever".

The historic castle grounds will once again be transformed into a "spectacular display of lights", running from Saturday 22 November to Sunday 4 January.

The 2025 Festive Light Trail promises a "truly unforgettable after-dark experience".

In partnership with T3 Creative Agency, this year's trail will feature 41 enchanting installations, 15 brand-new experiences and four new showpieces, and over half a million twinkling lights. 

Tickets start from £17 per person.

Kicking off with a new Cathedral-style light tunnel, guests will start their journey under the dazzling entrance before immersing themselves in a series of magical new experiences.

Highlights include a glowing jousting arena that brings medieval drama to life, enchanted illuminated woodland paths, and hands-on interactive displays for the whole family.

Projections will once again bring the historic castle walls to life.

David Harding, Director of T3 Creative Agency, comments: "What began during the pandemic as a way to bring people together in a moment of uncertainty has grown into a cherished tradition.

"Over the past five years, we've seen just how much joy and wonder the light trail brings to families, friends, and visitors of all ages.

"This year, we've taken things even further, with the addition of some truly spectacular new installations designed to surprise and delight at every turn.

"We're thrilled to invite both new and returning guests to experience what promises to be our most magical and memorable festive season yet."

Accessibility remains a key priority. The trail features a fully accessible route, and on Monday, 8 December, Warwick Castle will host a dedicated sensory-friendly evening.

Tailored for guests with additional needs, including those with autism, the evening will include static or gently transitioning lights, reduced sound levels, and no roaming characters - creating a calm, welcoming atmosphere for all.
