Nottingham’s Wollaton Hall & Deer Park has again been transformed into a spectacular woodland paradise as Christmas at Wollaton Hall – a unique festive outdoor light installation.
The multi-sensory experience of light and sound puts a contemporary twist on the classic seasonal tradition, with some amazing new features.
With a newly designed trial as well as the best-loved favourite features of the inaugural event, the stunning illuminated 2km (1¼ mile) walkway, has been specially designed to fit into the natural landscape of the Formal Gardens. As well as Christmas at Wollaton the hall is also offering Yuletide Kitchens & Santa’s Workshop, gifts & treats in the cafés & shops.
After a successful opening, Christmas at Wollaton was temporarily closed due to Storm Arwen, but is now open as normal.
