Family-run magical light trails: enchanting experiences for all ages.
Luminate is a delightful family experience to be enjoyed equally by young and old alike.
We are proudly owned, operated and run by 2 brothers and one Wife/Sister-in-law. Together, we have been running our lovingly curated events for over 15 years. We aim to create amazing, enchanted, sensory light experiences around the country. Suitable for everyone to enjoy – and one that our family and friends would love too!
We decided from the outset to ignore the old adage of “never work with your friends and family” and instead found it became our goal to do the exact opposite. Dads, cousins, aunties, mums, sisters, friends, friends of friends. We have been helped along every step of our journey by an army of loyal helpers, doing anything we need to help us create fabulous events for all of our lovely visitors to enjoy. We have also been lucky enough to make some new friends along the way, courtesy of some of the independent contractors and venue partners who we have had the pleasure of working with.
“Never work with your friends and family”? We decided to do the exact opposite.
We strive to keep our events feeling fresh and exciting every year and we will always be committed to never accepting anything less than the very best, for every element of our magical trails.
It’s a great alternative for date-night, for the romantics amongst us (we are very proud to have had no less than 15 proposals at Luminate now!), a magical family night out, or a different, enchanting take on an evening out with the girls. Not to mention a fab alternative to the traditional works’ Christmas night out.
Having proudly delivered this remarkable and magical event for seven fantastic years alongside our brilliant team, we’re gearing up to make 2026 our most incredible year yet — our 8th year of Luminate!
What our visitors say.
“A fantastic experience for the whole family. It was the highlight of our Christmas festivities.”
“We had an amazing time. It really is such a beautiful light trail!”
