Top Tips for your visit

We know you will have lots of questions about your visit to Northern Lights Newcastle this winter, so we wanted to let you know all our top tips to have the best experience possible.

Step aboard our Christmas Time Machine

This year’s trail takes you on a nostalgic journey through Christmas past and present, brought to life with immersive storytelling, original soundscapes and spectacular new illuminations.

Look out for interactive areas and selfie spots along the way as you travel through the decades and relive the festive memories that make this time of year magical.

Wrap up warm and dry – it will be the beginning of winter

We’re an outdoor, all-weather event, so dress for the occasion.

Warm layers, a waterproof coat and sturdy, comfortable footwear will make all the difference – trust us, this is not the night for your best white trainers.

Hats and gloves are always a good shout too.

Take your time to explore

There’s a lot to see, so don’t rush it!

We’d recommend allowing at least an hour, if not two, to enjoy the full trail without feeling like you’re racing the clock.

Arrive in time for your slot (we allow a 15-minute grace window) and let the magic unfold at your own pace.

Indulge yourself in the Christmas Village

At the beginning and end of the trail, treat yourself in our Christmas Village – think mulled wine, hot chocolate, toasted marshmallows and a touch of fairground fun.

It’s the perfect spot to pause, warm up and soak up the festive atmosphere before heading back out into the night.

See how many hidden moments of magic you can spot

Keep your eyes peeled as you travel through the decades!

From nostalgic nods to Christmases gone by to surprises tucked throughout the trail, see how many hidden moments of magic you and your little ones can uncover along the way.
