Wollaton Hall and Deer Park, used for Wayne Manor in the 2012 Batman film, Dark Knight Rises, will host its first magical Christmas lights trail. From Friday, November 27, those in search of festive fun will be able to head to this unique outdoor light installation - socially distanced, of course. The enchanting winter paradise will include a 2km (1¼ mile) multi-sensory illuminated trail of discovery created with four magical lands, specially designed to fit into the natural landscape of the Hall and Gardens. Wollaton Hall and Deer Park is run by Nottingham City Council, which is working in partnership with event team Kilimanjaro to deliver the event, designed by lighting company DBN Audile working alongside outdoor arts company Walk The Plank. Stephen Page, director, of Manchester-based DBN Audile, said: “Together we’ve designed a unique event that brings a contemporary look and feel to a new seasonal event for all the family at this amazing historic hall.”
So, what will Christmas at Wollaton look like? Visitors will begin their journey in a fairy-lit woodland winterscape. As they move through the festive forest they will be greeted by the sight of the Windswept Trees, a unique ethereal sculpture made by renowned artist Hannelora Johansson. A light tunnel then brings people to a magical realm awash with colour, a contrasting bold contemporary Christmas colour-scape designed to celebrate the full spectrum of vibrant Christmas colours. The Hall’s Camellia glass house will be bathed in an amber glow while the formal garden is ‘where fire and flame meet flora and fauna’. As visitors enter the final zone there will be a dramatic finale designed to 'take your breath away'. Along the route there'll be the chance to sample festive food and drink including mulled wine and roast chestnuts from some of the city’s independent vendors. Wollaton’s seasonal market and Christmas bar will be in the courtyard at the end of the trail. Safety
Covid-19 safety measures have also been of prime importance when planning the event. Careful planning of the trail route means visitor flow is managed, ensuring that social distancing can be safely maintained throughout and a number of other safety measures including contactless payments and e-ticket access will be in place. How to book
To ensure safety for all visitors, Christmas at Wollaton is open from 4.30pm until 10pm with pre-bookable slots staggered every 30 minutes. Christmas at Wollaton will run from Friday, November 27, 2020 until Wednesday, January 6, 2021 (closed on 25 December and 1 January 2021). e-Tickets for the event go on sale at www.christmasatwollaton.org from today (Tuesday, September 8) and are priced at £17.50 for an adult and £12.50 for children. Family tickets are £59.50. (plus booking fee). Nottingham city residents booking before the end of September will be able to get 10% off all tickets purchased.

The event will add much to the city’s fantastic Christmas events offer and is expected to draw thousands of visitors from across the region and beyond.. nottinghamshirelive
