SUMMARY:AGLOW
DESCRIPTION:A brand-new Christmas light trail\, AGLOW\, will dazzle visitors to Auckland Castle this festive season\, with the tallest Christmas tree in the North\, the longest outdoor light tunnel in the country\, as well as seventeen other breath-taking light installations\, making it one of the largest light trails in England. \nTaking place from 22 November to 31 December\, excluding Christmas Day\, AGLOW is a glittering one-and-a-half-mile long trail through the ancient Castle grounds\, taking in the Deer Park\, River Gaunless and a specially created Santa’s Village\, complete with a performance stage. The scenery of the castle and grounds have been utilised to their full extent\, making every twist and turn of the 1.5 hour-long illuminated route a Christmas experience like no other. \nWhilst exploring AGLOW\, visitors will see Auckland Castle in a whole new light\, with stunning projections on the castle walls and glowing rainbow-hued spheres of light covering the bowling green. A sparkling 100 metre-long tunnel of 100\,000 stars leads into the parkland where large-scale illuminations with lasers\, neon ropes\, mirror balls\, LED vines and starburst trees will dazzle and delight. Life-size illuminated deer graze amongst silk flower lanterns at the Deer House\, while dancing water fountains make the River Gaunless spring to life and daring illuminations featuring real fire make for after-dark drama. \nAlong the trail\, visitors can take in the sights over a mulled wine or hot chocolate and enjoy toasting marshmallows over the open firepit. Towering over Santa’s Village is a giant redwood or Wellingtonia tree beside the river\, festooned with almost one kilometre of colourful lights – at 32 metres\, or 104 feet high\, the tree claims the title of tallest Christmas tree in the North. In front of this spectacular backdrop\, the picturesque wooden cabins of Santa’s Village offer a further choice of festive food and drinks. \nOn the stage\, Santa and his mischievous elves will entertain children and adults alike with a live show performed regularly throughout the evening. For some interactive fun there are bubble installations and musical tree stumps\, as well as vintage fairground rides\, including a 1934 children’s train with carriages named after towns in North East England\, a 1950s Chair-o-plane and a popular Hook-a-Duck stall offering prizes every time. \nJames Cundall\, organiser of AGLOW\, said: “The incredible landscape at Auckland Castle lends itself brilliantly to a light trail of this scale. The castle and parkland provide a perfect palette for AGLOW and will give families and friends an unforgettable festive experience.” \nEntry times for the trail are at 30-minute intervals from 4:30pm – 8:30pm each day. Allow at least 90 minutes to complete the trail. \nTickets are £21.50 for adults\, £14.50 for children or £66.50 for families (consisting of one adult and three children\, or two adults and two children.) Children aged 2 and under enter for free. \nThe Auckland Project Annual Pass Holders receive 20% discount on the ticket prices.\nTickets can be booked here.
