Luminate at Coombe Abbey Park

Coombe Abbey Park · Coventry, Warwickshire · 28th November 2026 to 2nd January 2027

About this event

Luminate returns to Coombe Abbey Park near Coventry from Saturday 28 November 2026 to Saturday 2 January 2027, with timed entry between 16:30 and 20:30. Operating nights are shown on the booking calendar.

The trail is 2km long according to the page header, or 2.4km according to its FAQ, and takes 60 to 90 minutes depending on your pace. Luminate counts about 13 big moments along the way, with festoon lights along the path, interactive installations, laser lights, haze effects and projection mapping on the abbey's facade.

The Kiosk in the Park sells food and drink, and there are fire pits where you can toast marshmallows, either your own or ones bought on site. Coombe Abbey's hotel runs its own separate Christmas events.

Dogs are not allowed on most nights, apart from guide and assistance dogs, but a limited number of dog-friendly nights are marked with a dog symbol on the booking calendar. On those nights it is short leads only, a maximum of two dogs per adult, no XL Bully or banned breeds, and dogs must stay on the marked path. There is unfenced water off the trail, so keep children close.
