Last Updated on September 28, 2026 by Suzy McCullough
Light Trails are becoming more and more popular each year during the festive holiday season. 2026 is hopefully going to be no exception. The UK is certainly one of the best places to enjoy a light show and there are some fabulous light trail events taking place.
They are great for families of all ages, even teenagers. Every year there seems to be something new to wow us, and I’m not sure there’s much better than wrapping up warm, watching the night come to life with lights, lasers, music and more and finishing the night off with a nice hot drink.
We have separated them out by listing each county alphabetically to make finding festive holiday light trails near you even easier. Please note that some photos may be from previous events – Christmas light trails tend not to include a visit to meet Santa Claus, so they are perfect festive events for all ages.
