There is a covered bar on the front lawn with plenty of tables and chairs. Delicious local food trucks will be serving hot food and there is a gourmet hot chocolate hut on the route.
Is Parking Free?
Yes, we have a free car park, please follow the signs and the staff will show you where to park.

Are dogs allowed?
Friendly dogs are welcome but must be kept on their leads at all times. Dogs are also welcome in the heated marquee.
We also ask that dogs leave nothing behind and please put used bags in the bins.
How Accessible is the Trail?
We are committed to providing an accessible attraction, and we strive to ensure that visitors with disabilities can enjoy as much of our magnificent grounds as possible.
Many of our paths are hardcore but we also have woodchipped paths due to the nature of the woodland, which are tough but not impossible for wheelchairs and prams to use. Please keep this in mind when booking for this year’s event.Â
There is disabled parking available opposite the front gates. Our road crossing officers will be able to direct you and assist you to cross the road.Â
For Spectacle of Light visitors, carers go free (and do not require a ticket) when accompanying an adult or child ticket holder in their care. Please show one of the following documentation at the ticket gate: 1. Disability Living Allowance, Disability Benefits, Carer’s Allowance or Attendance Allowance letter. 2. Personal Independence Payment Letter. 3. Letter from GP or consultant confirming the need for a full time carer (this does not need to be a letter of diagnosis). 4. Carer’s Card. 5. Local Authority Assessment. Blue badges are not an accepted form of documentation. .Â
Accessible toilets are located opposite the marquee at our food village on the front lawn. We have baby changing facilities at the toilet block next to the giraffe statues by the side of the main house.

Returning to Welford Park from 17 Oct – 9 Nov 2025 (on selected evenings)
Spectacle of Light offers you the chance to view the much loved paths of Welford Park from a different perspective and discover new sights along the way.
A timeless experience for all ages. A typical walk will take approximately 60 – 75 minutes, although if you wish to stay longer you are very welcome.
When you book you can decide your time of entry subject to availability.
Many of our paths are wood chipped, which makes wheelchair access tough but not impossible. We are working towards making our paths hardcore but please keep this in mind when booking for this year’s event.
Friendly dogs on leads are welcome. We ask owners to leave nothing behind and to please put used bags in the bins.
