Perfect for families, friends, date nights and adventurers of all ages, this unique after-dark experience guarantees awe and exploration of the wheel like never before. Walk around the site after dusk and discover hidden routes, stop off and enjoy some hot food and sweet treats by the fire, hop to our noughties themed silent disco and enjoy the show!

As night falls, the basin of the Falkirk Wheel will be transformed into a stage of water, light and laser effects, bringing the iconic setting to life in a captivating and immersive spectacle.
Complementing the show, an enhanced walking trail will guide visitors through the landscape with dynamic lighting. Designed to inspire exploration and adventure, the illuminated journey will invite visitors to awaken the adventurer in all of us.
