Christmas at Heaton Park, brought to you by the makers of Christmas at Kew, will provide a festive highlight for all the family including four-legged loved ones when it opens its gates in Manchester tonight.

Be among the first to experience Sony Music’s brand-new illuminated trail, which launches tonight and runs until Sunday, December 31.

Early December dates still have availability for off-peak time slots, in which adult tickets are just £15 children aged 3-16 are £10. Infants aged 2 and under go free. A family ticket during off-peak times is fantastic value at only £47. Off-peak slots start as early as 5pm on some evenings – visit the website for full details (see below).

Off-peak tickets are perfect for families with older children and for loved ones and friends who can enjoy the beautiful installations and choreographed soundtrack on a slightly quieter mid-evening trail.

Standard tickets are also excellent value at £18 for adults and £14 for children and those time slots begin as early as 5.15pm on selected dates, after the peak time slots have passed.

Matthew Findlay, Head of UK Trails for Sony Music/Raymond Gubbay Ltd, said: “We’re thrilled to be bringing this beautiful new trail to Manchester for 2023. We’re collaborating with the team at Culture Creative, who have a wealth of expertise in designing and delivering light trails.

“Working sympathetically with the landscape and history of Heaton Park, we have created an unforgettable, immersive experience illuminating the special beauty of the location, suitable for all the family to enjoy this Christmas.”

Christmas at Heaton Park has everything you need for an unforgettable time with friends and family. There are breath-taking seasonal lights as never seen before.

Discover colour-changing orbs of light stretching out into the distance, larger-than-life flowers and neon strings that reach high into the sky. Wander through a laser garden filled with thousands of tiny beams of light and into a giant twinkling tunnel that surrounds you with sparkle.

Immerse yourself in the tantalising world of thrills, spills and the sweetest of treats at the fairground village (rides, food and drink all at additional cost).

Grab a seasonal snack from one of the hand-picked street food vendors who bring an indulgent twist to the menu on offer. Complete your walk under the stars with a perfectly festive *spiced winter warmer, *hot chocolate or *toasted marshmallow and share it with someone special.

Your very merriest Christmas starts here. Limited capacity with timed entry.
