Leonardslee Lights 2026 is unashamedly magical and is fast becoming a favourite way to start the Christmas festivities.
For 2026, “the experience unfolds as a journey through the gardens and the changing seasons, where light, sound and nature come together in a series of evolving scenes.”
The trail opens on 27 November and runs to 30 December. Further details to follow.

For the avoidance of confusion, Leonardslee Illuminated have rebranded as Leonardslee Lights.

Last year’s show:
Set off down the path illuminated by creatures, shapes and stars. From wolves and badgers to swans and robins, they all await.

There are, of course, a few familiar show stoppers along the way, which include the mesmerising light and water, the sight of the earth and the moon emerging from the mist and hovering ethereally above you to the haunting and magical music.

Walk past watery blooms and through tunnels of light. Enjoy sculpture in a way you’ve never seen it before and finish with marshmallows and hot chocolate.

It really doesn’t matter if you’re 5 or 95, this is the stuff that the festive season should be made of. Grab tickets if you can, and I hope you enjoy it as much as we did.
