The Elsham Hall Light Show 2026

It's with great excitement we would like to invite you back into a world of magical festive wonder at The Elsham Hall Light Show 2026!!  

Now in its second year, the Elsham Hall Lightshow 2026 will bring together exciting new installations with the much-loved elements that made our first year so popular. Walk through a glittering, dreamlike wonderland filled with breathtaking colour and enchantment. Wander through glowing gardens, twinkling tunnels and sparkling scenes that bring the magic of Christmas to life.

The light trail will run daily from 5pm to 8:30pm and will be split into 4 entry slots. It will be approx 35-40mins to walk around but you are free to walk the Light Show as many times as you like until we close. 

Our courtyard will be open throughout the Light Show, transformed into a cosy festive winter haven filled with twinkling lights, seasonal cheer and the irresistible scents of Christmas.

Warm up with a loaded hot chocolate piled high with cream and toppings, or enjoy a glass of warming mulled wine. Tuck into freshly grilled burgers, toast extra-large marshmallows at our marshmallow stand, and at Bunny Scoops treat yourself to homemade fruit crumble served with delicious ice cream or custard. You can also enjoy fantastic food and freshly baked bread from our recently opened Hop Bakehouse, while browsing a carefully chosen selection of Christmas gifts and festive treats to take home.

Whether you're creating new holiday traditions or simply looking for a night of unforgettable seasonal joy, The Elsham Hall Lightshow is your must-visit destination this Christmas. Let the lights guide you to the heart of the holidays!
