Activities Breakdown

So many lights to experience
Farm animals ans displays throughout too

Having a light trail throughout a farm is such a magical experience. You get to see all of the incredible light displays as well as some of the farm animals and activities. The whole family loved that you can go see an incredible light show as well as pigs trotting around.

Food & Drink

We got hot chocolate when there which was really tasty but was slightly expensive for what it was especially as a larger family. There wasnt much food options and the ones that were there were quite expensive.

Money-Saving Tip

As the trail is best in the evening light we had dinner before going so we didnt need to purchase much there

Overall Verdict & Ratings

A Tried & Tested - Day Out With The Kids
Safety & Cleanliness5.0

I felt it was very safe and well signposted throughout and good cleanliness

Rides & Entertainment5.0

For a lights trail there was something to see and do in every area you went

Food & Drink3.0

Hot chocolate was very tasty but expensive. I wouldnt of purchased the food options there for the price

Queues & Crowds4.0

Slight queues for some interactive parts but steady and never felt too long. Longer queues for food and drink as wasnt many options there but as I wasn't purchasing food it didnt effect me too much

Fun & Delight5.0

SO much fun for all ages, weve attended for 3 years in a row because we love it so much

Value for Money4.0

There's so much to see and in comparison to other trails the cost is about average, but it is an expensive day out for larger families like myself so has to be a considered purchase

The Final Verdict:

I absolutely love going to the Light trail every year. The whole family has so much fun and you can see the time and effort that goes into the displays. It really is a magical experience and is one of them places that scream Christmas time to me. Being a larger family I would love it to be abit more affordable but it is something I choose to save for every year to go to as its 100% worth for the memories and joy it brings.
