Visit a UK town or city near you to enjoy the best Christmas events, including garden illuminations, Christmas light trails, markets and Christmas light displays in London and the UK.

It might be cold outside, but visiting historic UK gardens at night, at Christmas, offers an opportunity to explore rarely seen nocturnal beauty – especially when the landscapes are lit up with vistas of ethereal, magical white light or dramatic colours sweeping across the blackness. Intensely memorable, these are trails that bring the Christmas season vividly alive.

Alternatively, there are a range of town and city Christmas light displays going ahead this year for the whole family to enjoy, as well as indoor events for those who would prefer not to brave the cold.

Find below some of the best Christmas light experiences in 2021 and read our checklist of things to remember ahead of booking:

Remember to book early as admissions may be limited or have timed entry.
Most Christmas light garden trails are around one mile and follow set routes, but you can take as long as you like to enjoy the displays.
Wrap up warm and much needed hot drinks can usually be purchased along the way.
Be on time, otherwise you may miss your slot and admittance cannot then be guaranteed.
For indoor events, check pandemic guidelines before you visit and don't forget your face mask.
Monitor government guidelines between booking and attendance and note any changes.

13. Mous ehole Harbour Christmas lights, Cornwall - Mid December 2021

There will be no switch on event at Mousehole Harbour this year for pandemic reasons but the lights will still be erected as usual. The website reads: "A "Soft Switch On" will be followed instead, whereby the various displays in and around the village will be lit as and when they are ready. It is anticipated that all displays will be completed and lit by mid-December."

7,000 lights will illuminate the harbour. The lights were first started in 1963 by local artist Joan Gillchrest who strung up some coloured bulbs along the quay to make it look more festive at Christmas. Since then local carpenters and volunteers have helped build the display, and now it is a delight for residents and an attraction for visitors far and wide.
