Magical light trail with ice skating and Christmas market coming to historic Cheshire castle

A magical light trail will illuminate a historic Cheshire castle this Christmas.

The grounds of Bolesworth Castle will play host to 30 nights of festive lights inviting visitors to special access to the estate and offering spectacular views of the grounds which surround the historic house around a 50-minute drive from Liverpool, close to Tattenhall.

The 1.2-mile trail at Bolesworth will guide young adventurers and their families through an enchanted winter wonderland after dark where there will be a rainbow of floodlit trees, lights that twinkle by the lakeside and sparkling walkways with laser lit bridges.

Father Christmas ' reindeer will be found in the woodland on the route and there will be a festive food and drink market at the end so visitors can stock up with seasonal treats.

Children will be able to visit Father Christmas in his grotto and there will also be a chance to go ice skating, along with an impressive laser and light show display every evening.

Nina Barbour, managing director of Bolesworth, said: "This is the first time we have staged a Christmas event at Bolesworth and we are really looking forward to creating a magical winter wonderland for the whole family to enjoy together.

"We have some beautiful grounds here at Bolesworth and it will be lovely to share them with visitors during this incredibly special time of year. We are really excited to create this beautiful light, music and entertainment spectacle which can't fail to get us all into the festive spirit."
