A magical trail with new lights for 2024
Created by award-winning, internationally acclaimed light trail producers and firmly positioned within the UKs seasonal calendar, Christmas at Wimpole, Cambridgeshire has everything you need for an unforgettable time with friends and family, including a magical glimpse of Father Christmas along the way.
The Mansion House will be decorated for Christmas, and Christmas is coming to Home Farm for the first time this year. The Rectory and our cafés will also be serving up some festive favourites.
Discover neon trees, larger-than-life flowers and an amazing two colour pea-lit tree, surround yourself with sparkle within long glowing tunnels and immerse yourself in all the colours of the rainbow.
Grab a seasonal snack from one of the hand-picked street food vendors who bring an indulgent twist to tempting treats on offer.

We reserve the right to change your seat and allocate you a different one for operational reasons. On single bookings, we reserve the right to alter your seating to maximize the seating available.
