With just one month to go before West Yorkshire’s biggest new festive attraction opens its gates, Northern Lights has shared another preview of the illuminated installations featured at this year’s immersive experience, as well as details of the enticing array of food and drinks available inside the event’s bespoke Christmas Food Village.
Following sellout success in Newcastle last year, the acclaimed event makes its Yorkshire debut this winter and has already sold over 50,000 tickets. Taking place within the grounds of the Grade I-listed gardens of beloved Leeds landmark Temple Newsam house, Northern Lights will take visitors on a jaw-dropping journey through a spectrum of illuminations accompanied by unique musical compositions.
In this latest sneak peek, Northern Lights has shared an exciting glimpse of installations including ‘Aurora Rising’ with hundreds of floating orbs synchronised to music in an effortless dance of water, earth, while thousands of mysterious glowing forms will cover the ground in ‘Will-o-the-Wisps’, each one independently illuminated but also capable of inspiring its neighbours.
Northern Lights Leeds have also announced details of the independent food and drink vendors hand-picked to serve festive fare inside the event’s Christmas Village. Visitors can expect fresh food from the likes of award-winning Greek street food specialists Acropolis, artisan hot dog connoisseurs Diamond Dogs and exciting new Mac & Cheese makers MacTruck as well as an array of drinks available from a purpose built bar and cellar with hot drinks and sweet treats courtesy of Little Yorkshire Coffee Company.
Over one mile long, the Northern Lights Leeds trail will include 14 distinct illuminated zones featuring interactive elements and immersive, bespoke soundtracks that all combine to create an otherworldly sensory experience and capture the magic of the festive season. Presented by event-specialists From The Fields, the team responsible for breathtaking light trails including Cardiff’s Christmas at Bute Park, Northern Lights Newcastle and the multi-award-winning music festival Kendal Calling. With requests to bring their light trails to venues across the country, the From The Fields team’s close ties to West Yorkshire led them to Leeds this year.
From The Fields and Northern Lights Leeds are proud to be partnering with Leeds Women’s Aid and Leeds Hospitals Charity this year. As part of the collaboration, the trail will feature festive designs from young patients of Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust as well as a very special performance from the Leeds Hospitals Charity Unity Choir.
Tickets for Northern Lights Leeds are on sale now.
Prices start from £13.95 for children & £19.50 for adults.
Roxy Robinson, Creative Director at From the Fields said:
“It’s hard to believe we’re already just a month away from opening the gates to the first Northern Lights at Temple Newsam! We’re very excited to be sharing details of our wonderful Christmas Village and all its brilliant food traders as well as sharing a sneak peak at some of the magical installations coming to the park and shedding some more light on the work of our charity partners in the city. The response & positivity from Leeds since we announced this year’s debut trail has been incredible and we can’t wait to show everyone what we’ve been working on when the trail open next month”
Nigel Holiday, Director at Event Inspirations said:
“It’s been great to work with Northern Lights curating the food & drink line-up inside the Christmas village at the debut Temple Newsam light trail this year. We’ve got something for everyone inside the village this year with food from the likes of the MacTruk and Diamond Dogs to Leeds’ own Otley Burger Company amongst nine unique traders. We’ll be working hard to create a beautiful cosy space with exceptional food, hot drinks, fire pits and more for those attending the Light Trail to enjoy.”
