Belton Estate is set to sparkle brighter than ever this winter, with a host of spectacular new installations now revealed for the 2025 Christmas at Belton trail.
From 21 November to 31 December, visitors can explore the majestic grounds of this National Trust treasure as they are transformed into a glowing winter wonderland.
Created by award-winning light trail producers, the experience blends twinkling lights with immersive seasonal sounds to create an unforgettable festive atmosphere.
This year’s trail promises more ‘wow’ moments than ever before, with fresh artistry, returning favourites, and large-scale spectacles designed to surprise at every turn.
New highlights include a breathtaking 50-metre Aurora installation by ITHACA Studio, capturing the shifting magic of the Northern Lights, and a brand-new house projection from acclaimed artists NOVAK, set to illuminate Belton’s historic façade with festive storytelling.
The 36-metre-long Christmas Cathedral returns to bathe the grounds in soft seasonal light, joined by 50 red wicker candles and 60 glowing crocuses each standing two metres tall.
Visitors will encounter six striking neon winter flowers – from poinsettias to mistletoe – each 2.5 metres high, alongside whimsical wicker foals, stags and deer.
The trail also features 10 towering candy canes, nine spiral trees reflected in the water, and an enchanting ‘12 Days of Christmas’ rendered in sculptural wicker.
The installation On the Tide by Squidsoup brings a mesmerising interplay of light and movement, while curved haze arches and glowing heart arches create intimate spaces along the route.
Christmas at Belton is more than a light trail, it’s a complete Christmas experience.
Families can enjoy a traditional festive fairground, indulge in seasonal treats from hand-picked food and drink stalls, and sip on mulled wine or rich hot chocolate while soaking up the atmosphere.
Younger visitors can look forward to a magical glimpse of Father Christmas along the way.
This year, well-behaved dogs on leads are welcome to accompany you along the trail, allowing the whole family, four-legged friends included, to enjoy the magical Christmas experience together.
Tickets are available now, with peak dates expected to sell quickly for what promises to be Belton’s most memorable Christmas yet.
Christmas at Belton is brought to you by Sony Music Limited in partnership with the National Trust. The trail is created by Culture Creative.
