Spectacular Christmas at Dunham Massey light trail launches near Manchester next month

Christmas at Dunham Massey, the after-dark illuminated festive trail, returns to the historic National Trust venue in Greater Manchester between 18 November 2022 and 2 January 2023.

Curated installations this year include larger-than-life Lilies, a multi-coloured laser garden and Light a Wish by OGE Group, which resembles several heads of fluffy dandelions floating in the night sky.

A new work will be Gladioli Tunnel, by UK-based arts collective Jigantics. Lit arches of multicoloured flowers bathe visitors in a myriad of different lights. Jigantics was set up by Jig Cochrane in 2007, after he had spent 20 years working as an artist with community projects around the world.

Matthew Findlay, Head of UK Trails for Sony Music/Raymond Gubbay Ltd, said: “We are hugely excited by the plans for this year’s trail, with artists creating beautiful, new installations which will provide even more ‘wow’ factor for 2022.”

Christmas at Dunham Massey is full of seasonal surprises and shimmering reflections that cast light on beautiful silhouettes of majestic trees, all choreographed to a soundtrack of festive favourites. The trail is designed for visitors of all ages to enjoy.

Independent street food vendors bring a delicious twist with tasty treats on offer. Complete your walk under the stars with a *spiced winter warmer or *hot chocolate shared with friends and family. Everyone loves toasting a marshmallow over an open fire and the artisan *marshmallow stall gives visitors the chance to warm their hands and enjoy this sweet outdoor tradition.
