Waste bins and water bowls will be dotted around the trail during our dog-friendly sessions, and we ask that dogs be kept on leads at all times.
Please note: dogs must be very well socialised and can handle busy environments, other dogs and strange sounds. If your dog barks at everything, this is not the right place to bring it. You must also clear up after your dog, penalties apply for failing to do so.

To make these events as relaxing as possible lights will be raised with any rapid movement reduced, noise and music will be reduced, and capacity will be capped to allow visitors to move around the spaces as freely as possible.
Our Sensory Friendly Light Trail Sessions will be taking place on 28th November and 5th, 12th, 19th December 2025 at 16:15.

Jingle the Elf Recommends
“If you plan to take a super Winter Glow adventure and book multiple experiences, our advice is to book them carefully in order. So for example – ice skating mid-morning, lunch in the Food Quarter, followed by a personalised visit to Father Christmas’ Grotto, then finally head out on the Illuminated Light Trail.“
