The King’s Sandringham estate has been transformed into a winter wonderland, with a mile-long illuminated lights trail.
The annual after-dark experience, reimagined for 2024, is nestled deep in the Norfolk parkland.
Luminate Sandringham features a tunnel of thousands of fairy lights, interactive play including a light beam game, and a “fire tree”.
Visitors can also take part in its Make a Wish section by writing their Christmas wishes on gift tags to be hung among the lights.
Other elements include a Christmas tree maze and a brightly-lit tree house.
There is also a vintage fair on the site, with a helter skelter and a big wheel, along with festive food stalls.
The King and the royal family usually spend Christmas each year on Charles’s estate.
Sandringham House has been the private home for generations of British monarchs for more than 160 years, and now belongs to the King.
Royal Christmases usually feature a morning trip to St Mary Magdalene Church, the greeting of well-wishers, and a family lunch with turkey and all the trimmings.
Luminate Sandringham runs nightly from November 21 to December 24.
Tickets must be pre-booked online at www.luminate.live/sandringham-estate
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
