It’s officially time to get into the spirit of the season, and there’s no better way to do so than witnessing some dazzling Christmas light festivals. When it comes to creating said festive magic, Tulleys Farm isn’t holding back this year, presenting their first-ever Christmas Light Festival to immerse visitors in a vibrant illuminated world of holiday wonder.
Situated in the scenic Sussex countryside, this spectacular event is another stellar addition to their fabulous roster of annual events, like their Tulip Farm in the spring or Scarefest during Halloween. This brand-new festive offering is a must-see for families, couples, and friends looking for a magical winter outing this Christmas – with a whole lot of attractions, entertainment, and installations to boot!
Tulleys Christmas Light Festival Experience
The light trail at Tulleys is like walking through an illuminated fantasy world that’s filled with festive design and creativity. Sectioned off into themed lands that channel the treacly merriment of Christmas, the route flows through dazzling twists and turns, revealing one breathtaking installation after another.
Visitors will wander through sections like Love Lane, a romantic corridor of glowing hearts and lovey-dovey fixtures, or the dramatic Fire & Ice, where flames and water collide in an epic, choreographed display of contrasting colour.
Perhaps the most mesmerising area at Tulleys is The Enchanted Forest, where glowing trees and mythical creatures come to life in a spellbinding way. There’s even a Northern-Lights-esque replica called Luminar, which doubles as an extraordinary light show, illuminating the sky every night throughout the season.
Each display feels more magical than the last, with endless photo opportunities for those looking to capture the magic for keepsake. However, the festival doesn’t stop at the stunning visuals: live music and entertainment keep the festive cheer going and the good times rolling.
More Christmas magic at Tulleys Farm
Beyond the lights, performers scattered throughout the event ensure there’s never a dull moment. From music artists to street theatre, an observation wheel to a fabulous disco experience, the Tulleys Christmas Light Festival combines creativity, entertainment, and lovely lashings of festive fun.
And of course, no winter outing is complete without some Christmassy food and drinks. There’s a Christmas market and mouth-watering food stalls dotted along the trail. There are even three different bars including a Ski Lodge Bar, as well as an option entirely (and rightfully) devoted to mulled wine.
Expect anything and everything, from burgers and chips to the indulgent Yorkshire pudding wrap that’s inescapable if you’re on TikTok. But whatever you do, you can’t leave without stopping off at the Donut Lodge for a well-earned sweet treat, or roast some marshmallows over a crackling fire for a cosier experience.
So, if you’re always on hunting for the best light festivals in and around London as soon as December swings around, be sure to give Tulleys a chance – you won’t regret it!
