Exclusive: Christmas at Wollaton Hall in Nottingham has been cancelled for 2024

Christmas at Wollaton, the annual festive lights display at Wollaton Hall, has been cancelled for 2024.

A spokesperson for Wollaton Hall told Nottingham World: “The Christmas at Wollaton lights are having a rest this year and will be back for 2025.”

The spokesperson did not elaborate on the reasoning behind the decision to cancel this year’s event. 

Since its debut in 2020, the annual Christmas light show at the famous hall has grown to become one of the most popular festive activities in the East Midlands. 

In its first year, the event was one of the few Christmas activities not to be cancelled due to Covid thanks to it being outdoors and viability for visitors to socially-distance. 

Last year’s event was bigger and better than ever, with an innovative re-designed trail with a new path, starting from the courtyard and then weaving around the stunning formal gardens of Wollaton Hall and Deer Park.

There was also festive food and cocktails for visitors to enjoy while working their way through the trail.
