Description

From towering trees bathed in colour to the dramatic gothic castle ruins, Lights of Lowther promises an unforgettable evening of light, music and festivities for visitors of all ages.

You will follow a beautifully designed trail through the castle grounds, discovering enchanting installations, sparkling woodland pathways and immersive displays that celebrate the unique beauty of Lowther.

You will start your journey in the beautiful gothic ruins. Lit after dark, you will rediscover the Castle in a completely new light. Leaving the ruin, the trail leads you out into the gardens, which will be adorned in colour and twinkling lights. There will be immersive installations, photo opportunities and the grand finale which will be the view of the castle from the lawns like you have never seen it before.

Along the way festive food and drink including mulled wine and luxury hot chocolate will be served, as well as the opportunity to toast giant marshmallows over our fire pit.

Lights of Lowther is pre-booked only. Tickets are on timed entry slots every half hour, which keeps the trail relaxed and stops it feeling crowded.

Lights of Lowther runs on selected evenings from Saturday 14 November to Wednesday 30 December 2026. Most dates are Friday, Saturday and Sunday, with extra evenings added in the run up to Christmas and between Christmas and New Year.

Adults: £20 / Children: £15.
