Christmas has come early with this fantastic festive prize.

The brand new Christmas at Leeds Castle light trail is making its debut this year and will see the historic castle grounds, near Maidstone, illuminated with shimmering, sparkling decorations.

The beautiful light display comes from the team behind the annual sell-out Christmas at Bedgebury event, which is taking place at Bedgebury Pinetum once again this year.

The stunning after-dark trail, which has been specially designed by a group of talented international artists, will take visitors on a stroll through the grounds of Leeds Castle to see decorated trees, giant baubles and more than a thousand pea lights.

The winter wonderland will also feature larger-than-life light installations, the iconic Christmas Cathedral and a mesmerising fire garden.

Each of these twinkling displays will be choreographed to a special festive soundtrack which visitors will be able to hear along the way.

There will also be a chance to spot Father Christmas hiding among the trees, so make sure your children keep an eye out and stop to say hello when they see him.

As you explore the outdoor trail, you can keep warm with a delicious hot chocolate or street food snack from the vendors in the grounds.

The illuminations begin on Friday, November 25 and will run on select dates until Sunday, January 1 2023.

We’re giving three lucky winners the chance to see this magnificent light trail on opening night with family tickets to Christmas at Leeds Castle on Friday, November 25.
