A hit Disney ‘Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas’ Light Trail with over 1,700 luminous installations is coming to the UK for the very first time – and you can now get tickets to step into the spooky world at a historic estate less than 90 minutes from Birmingham

What can you expect at the Disney Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas Light Trail?

This cinematic adventure has already enchanted over 500,000 visitors in New York City, São Paulo and Austin; now it is coming to the UK for the very first time this autumn, promising a dazzling journey through the universe of the fantastical film. The twisting 1.2-mile trail features all your favourite characters and songs, with over 1,700 captivating light installations, 3D-printed sculptures and interactive video projections that will have you reliving much-loved moments from the film.

You’ll be able to follow in the footsteps of the spindly-legged Jack Skellington as you step into iconic scenes from the film. Tread carefully when you come upon Oogie Boogie’s lair, a neon-drenched installation tucked among a tangle of trees, where he awaits, ready for the perfect photo op. Elsewhere, you can air-pat the sculpture of ghostly good boy Zero and cast a wary eye at the mischievous trick-or-treating trio of Lock, Shock and Barrel. Looking forward to Christmas? A rosy-cheeked Santa Claus installation is at hand for a festive selfie.

Where is the new Disney Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas Light Trail located?

You can find this eerie extravaganza just an hour and 19 minutes’ drive from Birmingham. Located at the storied Arley Hall & Gardens, a Grade II-listed estate which once served as the luxurious countryside home of Tommy Shelby in the hit show Peaky Blinders, the trail is set to wind through the forest and illuminate the surrounding nature with kaleidoscopic colour.

No car? You can grab a train to nearby Warrington Bank Quay Station, then hop in a taxi for the final 25 minutes.
