Countdown begins for Christmas at Belton

The one-month countdown is on for Christmas at Belton, with the highly anticipated illuminated trail set to return from 22nd November to 1st January.

This year’s event promises to sparkle brighter than ever, with a host of new and breathtaking light artworks ready to enchant visitors of all ages.

For 2024, the trail will feature several dazzling new installations.

Among the highlights is Triangulate by ArtAV, an immersive 31-metre-long display made up of 16 multi-coloured bays. This captivating installation is designed to envelop visitors in a spectacular wash of light and colour, creating an unforgettable sensory experience.

Also debuting is Feast of Light by Squidsoup, an immersive walkthrough made of thousands of suspended points of light that evoke movement and presence.

Squidsoup, known for its stunning interactive displays at venues like Burning Man and the Sydney Opera House, brings its signature blend of technology and art to create a magical and otherworldly atmosphere.

Visitors can also look forward to Supernova by Studio Vertigo, a three-metre-tall polished sculpture inspired by the mythical Star of the East.

Emitting haze and projecting swirling galaxy patterns, Supernova promises to mesmerise with its cosmic display.

These new additions join the beloved features of Belton’s illuminated trail, including the meadow of light, neon string flowers, floating candles, and batons of rainbow-coloured light.

As visitors stroll through this winter wonderland, they’ll be immersed in a million twinkling lights and seasonal sounds, making memories to last a lifetime.

Matthew Findlay, Head of UK Trails for Sony Music, said: “We’re thrilled to bring back Christmas at Belton for 2024 with an incredible lineup of new artistic innovations. Last year’s feedback was fantastic, but we’re pushing to make this year’s trail the ultimate festive experience for the whole family.”

As the countdown begins, families are encouraged to book early and get ready for a magical journey through the lights—and perhaps even catch a glimpse of Father Christmas himself!
