Lincoln Castle’s much-loved festive spectacular returns offering families and friends a little extra sparkle this Christmas. With magical photo opportunities and new light features for this year - and we can’t wait to show them to you!

Enjoy some of your favourite features as we light up the walls, providing the annual opportunity to walk the Castle walls at night. Count down with us as the snow falls, providing magical moments for families, jump on board our enhanced mini–Christmas Express train ride and don’t forget to greet our resident dragons.

Walk through enchanting light displays, enjoy a hot chocolate or festive treat in the Castle’s beautifully decorated grounds, enjoy traditional fairground rides and soak up the atmosphere. And for a truly unforgettable view, make sure you upgrade your ticket to include the Illuminated Wall Walk to take in the spectacular views from up high.

Don’t forget that if you would like your four-legged friend to enjoy Lincoln Castle Illuminated with you, make sure to book a ticket for one of our Dog Friendly evenings on Wednesday 26 November, Wednesday 3 December, Wednesday 10 December and Wednesday 17 December.
