The newly released trail map gives a first look at what awaits:
-
Step through the hand-crafted Willow Arch, the grand entrance to this year’s spectacle.
-
Stroll along Crystal Avenue, where glittering chandeliers create a canopy of light above.
-
Enter the Kaleidoscope Tunnel, a dazzling passage of shifting colour and light.
-
Stop for a photo at the Rainbow Riot trees – a new must-see spot for your Christmas pictures.
-
Conclude the trail at Ice Fall, a frozen finale that promises a breathtaking ending.
Alongside these highlights, visitors can look forward to a host of immersive installations, each designed to spark wonder and joy.
One returning favourite is Dancing Dandelions, a glowing meadow of giant illuminated flowers that twirl and shimmer in the winter air. It’s a playful and heart-warming experience for all ages.

New for 2025 is Delilah Y Ddraig, a dramatic centrepiece celebrating Wales’s legendary dragon. Hidden deep within the park, this fiery display combines light, sound, and movement as Delilah roars to life, thrilling audiences with her dazzling presence.
Another addition is Bubbleicious, an interactive wonderland filled with floating, glowing bubbles. Designed with families in mind, it invites children and adults alike to play, pop, and marvel at the magic.
