Spectacle of Light at Sudeley Castle
Returning in Autumn 2021
The Beautiful After-Dark Experience for all the Family!
Explore the beautiful new night-time trail around Sudeley Castle’s stunning grounds, marvelling at the majestic trees and romantic ruins all lit under the stars.
** Coronavirus update – a message to our visitors – we will be following the latest government guidance on social distancing **

New and Exciting for 2020!
Follow Clara and discover the magical characters of The Nutcracker as you progress around Sudeley’s beautiful gardens and enchanted woodland. Gaze at the sparkling water features and the flickering field of fire. Light beams, lanterns and much much more. Enjoy the wonderful music as you experience each new secret of this romantic environment.

Festive Food And Cheer!
Sip festive warmers of spiced mulled apple juice and sprinkled hot chocolate as you join the magical trail around these wonderful grounds. Tuck into simple take away hot food and delicious donuts from the Castle Dungeons. Before your journey home why not treat yourself to winter warming drink and browse our lovely gift shop for some unique Christmas gifts and souvenirs.
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 refund (less the booking fee).
