A popular festive light trail will return to Windsor Great Park next month with a host of new displays.

Windsor Great Park Illuminated will open on Friday, November 13, bringing a host of new installations alongside returning favourites.

Among the new attractions for 2026 is ‘Up, Up and Away!’, a giant illuminated hot air balloon standing 14 metres tall, making it the event’s tallest display yet.

Visitors will also encounter two giant owls, known as ‘The Wise Watchers’, overlooking the Field of Lights, while a ghostly Pirate Ship will appear on the Obelisk Pond.

Hundreds of illuminated snow globes will also create a ‘Snow Globe Sky’ among the trees.

The dog-friendly trail will run until Sunday, January 3, with tickets for adults starting from £18 and children from £11.

A dedicated Low Sensory Evening will also return on Tuesday, November 24, with reduced music levels, additional pathway lighting and limited visitor numbers.

More information can be found on the event's website via www.windsorilluminated.com
