- This mile-long route will feature 15 new, large-scale installations, all choreographed to original, carefully curated soundtracks from creative partners including Mandy Lights and Ithaca Studios – the visionary teams behind the iconic installations Kew Gardens, Netflix and Glastonbury.
- Tickets are now on sale via www.northernlightsnewcastle.com.
Since first launching in 2023, Northern Lights Newcastle has welcomed over 200,000 visitors and has cemented its place as one of the North East’s most loved winter traditions and seasonal events. Tickets for the 90-minute accessible experience go on sale at 10am today.
This year’s light trail is set to transform the familiar into the fantastical, promising returning guests to Leazes Park a brand-new experience and first-time visitors an unforgettable festive adventure through immersive lights, sounds and storytelling.
Visitors can expect even more magic with brand new illuminating displays, festive food and drink pit stops and dazzling surprises waiting around every corner of this extraordinary trail throughout November and December.
Roxy Robinson, Creative Director of From The Fields, said: “We’re so excited to be back in Newcastle for a third year and can’t wait for people to experience our new displays and see what surprises we have planned! Every year we challenge ourselves to push the creative boundaries and 2025 is no exception – we’ve completely reimagined the light trail! Newcastle has always welcomed us with so much enthusiasm, and has received five-star visitor reviews, major media attention and over 200,000 attendees since its launch. With such a high demand for tickets in previous years, selling out two seasons, we highly recommend booking early to avoid missing out.”
