Spectacle of Light Celebrates Its 10th Anniversary at Sudeley Castle With Legendary New Theme
Spectacle of Light, one of the UK’s most magical winter light trails, returns to the enchanting grounds of Sudeley Castle in Gloucestershire for its tenth anniversary, running from 21 November – 30 December 2025. To mark the milestone, organisers have unveiled a brand-new theme that promises to capture the imaginations of visitors of all ages – King Arthur.
Set against the breathtaking backdrop of one of England’s most historic castles, Spectacle of Light transforms the castle gardens into a glittering wonderland of colour. This year’s trail takes guests on a journey through the myths and mysteries of Camelot, complete with a glowing sword installation, enchanted woodland, magical beasts, awe-inspiring projections and surprises around every corner.
Over the past decade, Spectacle of Light has become a much-loved festive tradition for thousands of families, couples and day-trippers across Gloucestershire and beyond. Previous themes have brought to life the stories of Alice in Wonderland, The Nutcracker, Peter Pan, The Wizard of Oz and Sleeping Beauty.
Alongside immersive lighting displays, projections and the illuminated trail through Sudeley Castle’s historic grounds, visitors can enjoy festive food and drink stalls. Advance tickets are now on sale with a 10% saving for bookings made before Thursday 20 November, with organisers encouraging early purchase due to sell-outs in previous years.
“We’re so proud to be celebrating ten years of Spectacle of Light at Sudeley Castle,” said Nic Beeby, founder of the event. “This year’s King Arthur theme feels like the perfect way to mark such a magical milestone, bringing together the rich history of Sudeley Castle with the spectacular storytelling and visual features our audiences love – with plenty of new surprises for 2025!”
