About

The National Trust’s iconic Stourhead estate is preparing to dazzle visitors once again as its enchanting Christmas light trail returns this Winter season.

Set against the breathtaking backdrop of Stourhead’s world-famous Palladian house and gardens, this much-loved festive experience promises a magical evening for all ages. Whether you’re searching for Christmas things to do near Bath or Christmas events in the South West, this unmissable experience is worth the visit.

Visitors can expect a brand-new array of dazzling installations for 2025, including the mesmerising Star Show, a shimmering Sea of Light, and spectacular lasers dancing across the night sky.

These new additions join the returning favourites, from the twinkling tunnel of light to the breathtaking display of colour-changing reflections stretching across the lake. 

Christmas at Stourhead is brought to life by internationally renowned light trail producers, making it a highlight of the UK’s festive calendar. 

Along the route, visitors may even catch a glimpse of Father Christmas, adding an extra sprinkle of seasonal magic for families.

No festive stroll would be complete without delicious winter treats, and this year’s hand-picked street food vendors will be serving up an irresistible selection of seasonal snacks. 

Whether it’s a spiced winter warmer, a creamy hot chocolate, or a perfectly toasted marshmallow*, there will be plenty of opportunities to indulge in the flavours of Christmas.

With its stunning new installations and magical atmosphere, Christmas at Stourhead is set to be one of the must-visit festive events of the season.
