Spectacular light trail coming to Southport

18th May 2021

A spectacular after dark light trail will be coming to Southport this year, hosted at the much-loved Victoria Park near the seafront from the 25th November to the 23rd December from 4.30pm each night.

The captivating light trail will weave a 1.2km long route around the grounds at the beautiful Victoria Park. Tickets for the light trail are booked on a starting time slot basis, but you can take as long as you like walking the magical trail. Visitors will be welcomed into a Christmas hub area where mulled wine and festive street food stalls will be cooking up tasty treats. Once on the light trail visitors can expect 3D projections, light tunnels, a wishing tree, interactive shadow play and laser light maze and much more.

In previous years the Luminate event has been at the Queen’s Sandringham Estate and Margam Park in South Wales, a stunning country park and castle.

Daniel Maycock, one of the organisers said ‘We are really looking forward to bringing this magical event to Southport and Victoria Park.   It’s a beautiful venue, perfect for an enchanting light trial. The event is something new and different for the area, we hope most people won’t have seen anything like it before – and we can’t wait to open! We look forward to welcoming people to this captivating event over the Festive period and hope it becomes a favourite family tradition for years to come.’

Alan Adams, General Manager of Southport Flower Show and Victoria Park Events added ‘we are really excited to be hosting this event – helping bring a fantastic new attraction to the town, establishing Southport as an all-year round resort.’

Tickets for the trail are now on sale, via the website www.luminate.live where you can also find more information.
