ultimate Christmassy escape, with spectacular lights, festive entertainment, and seasonal treats.

On selected dates from 25^th November, families will be able to enjoy an exciting festive day out with a
wonderfully traditional Christmas market and selected rides and attractions, offering the perfect
way to make magical memories with the family this Christmas.

The award-winning illuminated trail, Lightopia, is returning for 2022 with tree-mendous new
installations and interactive experiences letting guests control the magic. This year’s “Christmas
Wonder” themed attraction is packed full of giant lanterns, immersive projection light shows and a
series of breath-taking scenes including the Gate of Wonder, Candy Land, mystic animals, Land of
Diamonds and Fire Dragons, plus a brand-new grand water show finale. Be transported through a
spectrum of sights and sounds in a truly awe-inspiring seasonal wonderland, taking on a brand-new
route at the UK’s biggest theme park.

The iconic Towers Street will be transformed into the enchanting Towers Christmas Market. Discover
unique gifts, tasty treats and festive delights from the fantabulous market stalls as you enjoy
seasonal live entertainment from the bandstand stage. Soak up the atmosphere of Towers Street in
all its merry brilliance with fantastical sights and sounds throughout the day and into the evening.
Enjoy a whole host of festive drinks and dishes from the food stalls and outdoor bars, before relaxing
in a wooden igloo overlooking the iconic historic Towers, drenched in magnificent colour. A truly
magical and unforgettable Christmas experience for all the family – a real festive treat!
Entry to the Christmas market is free (car parking charges apply) and guests will also have the chance
to upgrade their visit by purchasing a Festive Day Out ticket, which includes specially selected rides
ideal for families, including UK’s only CBeebies Land, The World of David Walliams with Gangsta
Granny: The Ride, as well as Mutiny Bay, the home of budding buccaneers, plus HEX and Spinball

Overnight stays are also available with the return of the family fave Santa’s Sleepover. The festive
package includes an overnight stay in one of the fantastically themed hotels, a visit to Santa’s
Grotto, one day entry to the theme park, access to the award-winning illuminated trail, Lightopia,
and the enchanting Towers Christmas Market, plus so much more.
