Winter Woodland Lights

Friday 16 January – Sunday 1 February 2026 | 6:00pm or 8:00pm (selected dates)

Food available to purchase from: 5pm | Flying display commences: 6:45pm or 8:45pm

Our magical Winter Woodland Lights event is back! Unlike any light show or owl flying display that you will have ever seen before, you’ll experience beautiful illuminations and a live owl display set in a stunning, colourful woodland.

Start 2026 with a sparkle and embrace the power of light to brush away the January blues at this immersive experience that will transport you into the heart of nature like never before. This all-encompassing display is our most enthralling; with captivating narration, mesmerising lights and special effects, uplifting music and, of course, our beautiful owls twisting and turning around you.

‘…like a crossover of being in the middle of an episode of Planet Earth and a theme park 4D ride!’

Book ahead for the new year and have this exciting evening event to look forward to.

Peak Tickets: Adult £22.95 | Child £15.95

Off-peak Tickets: Adult £19.95 | £12.95
