If you’re anything like me then nothing says Christmas more than some twinkly lights, Santa and a glass of fizz. Luckily this December you can do all three together by heading to Christmas at Bolesworth in Cheshire.
All through December Bolesworth is going to be transformed into an illuminated wonderland. There will be a 1.2 mile trail with magical fun along the way for all of the family. The lights trail will first follow the lakeside, before taking the winding pathways through the woods. There might even be a few of Santa’s reindeer to greet you. If this wasn’t enough the Castle itself will also be spectacularly lit.
What else can you expect when you visit Bolesworth at Christmas?
Apart from the amazing light trail at Bolesworth this Christmas you can eat fantastic food and get into the Christmas spirit by exploring their enchanting Christmas Market.
When you arrive at Bolesworth for your Christmas Light Trail experience you will first enter the magical market where you can pick up glistening gifts, and spend as long as you like wandering around the food stands and the Christmas village as you sip on mulled wine or hot chocolate, whilst soaking up the heart-warming atmosphere of the evening.

Other Experiences at Bolesworth at Christmas
Ice Skating at Bolesworth this Christmas
You can also ice skate at Bolesworth with your friends and family. You can do this set against the iconic backdrop of Bolesworth Castle.

VIP Champagne Island at Bolesworth this Christmas
Bolesworth also has a VIP champagne Island which sounds like something very special indeed. Located just 10 minutes from the Christmas Village and a third of the way along the Lights Trail, there will be a secret sanctuary on a hidden island full of Champagne. From the greeting point, their crew will take you on a short voyage (just 30 metres) across the lake to an exclusive island where you can spend 45 to 60 minutes sipping champagne and soaking up the magical views of the castle, enchanted forest and the lake. You’ll then head back to either carry on with the Lights Trail walk, or you can head back to the Christmas Village.
