Spectacle of Light at Dalkeith Country Park
5 December 2020 – 3 January 2021
The magical after-dark adventure for all the family!
Explore the night-time wonder of Fort Douglas all lit under the stars. Take an amazing journey up amongst the tree canopy in the magical Sky Maze and enjoy all the challenges of this fabulous play area. New this year is the addition of the mini-maze for the under 6’s!
New and Exciting for 2020!
Enjoy the new illuminated trail into the magical woodland with its pixie lanterns and starbursts reflected in the river. Gaze at the carpet of colour and marvel at the beauty of the Orangerie and the gardens from the incredible viewing platforms.
Festive Food and Cheer!
Sip delicious Mulled Wine and Hot Chocolate as you enjoy this very special place. Toast marshmallows and tuck into scrumptious hot food up in the Fort area as well as down at Restoration Yard.
COVID-19
You can book with confidence for our Spectacle of Light illuminated trail
Be assured that the safety and well-being of our visitors is of the utmost importance to us and we are continually monitoring and responding to the COVID-19 pandemic situation as it evolves.
Current plans in place for the comfort and reassurance of our visitors include:
- Reducing the number of tickets on sale within each time slot from previous years, to allow visitors more space
- Revising the trail route to one-way and reducing the chance of pinch points to manage visitor flow
- Additional cleaning and having hand sanitisation stations where appropriate
- Catering facilities are being designed to allow social distancing
In the unlikely situation that we need to cancel the whole event, you can transfer your ticket to the following year, or get a full refund.
