Get outside this Twixmas at Belton’s illuminated trail

Keep the festive sparkle going post-Christmas with a visit to the outdoor illuminated trail at National Trust’s beautiful Belton House in Lincolnshire, running until 3 January 2021.

Christmas at Belton is the perfect way to get outside in the fresh air and enjoy a wintry walk with a difference during the ‘Twixmas’ period between Christmas and New Year.

Wrap up warm and be surrounded by over a million twinkling lights, colourful trees and amazing illuminated installations, transforming Belton’s majestic garden into a winter wonderland.

It takes between one to two hours to walk the magical mile-long trail, with special light installations along the way choreographed to music.

Wander beneath unique tree canopies surrounded by giant baubles, glowing flowers, glittering snowflakes, and clusters of trees wrapped in ribbons of colour.

The trail’s installations and sparkling lights provide picture-perfect Instagram opportunities around every corner.

“Wandering around this sparkling trail set against the dark night sky is like entering a wintry fairy tale. It’s an uplifting festive experience suitable for all ages”, said Belton House general manager, Ian Cooper.
