AGLOW

Auckland Palace’s dazzling light trail will illuminate the skies of Bishop Auckland this Christmas.

AGLOW promises to be one of the most spectacular Christmas light trails in the North East. With incredible illuminations and some of the largest light installations in the country, AGLOW is a must-see experience for all the family.

OFF-PEAK Sessions: November 22nd - December 8th, Wednesdays and Thursdays only.

Sensory-friendly sessions: Thursday, November 28th, Thursday, December 5th, and Thursday, December 12th (with time slots at 4:30 pm & 5:00 pm).

Please note that, due to the site's topography and uneven terrain, it is not possible to make the entire trail fully accessible. However, we have introduced a shorter, more accessible route for wheelchair users, with reduced ticket prices available at a 50% discount. For more details on the terrain and event route, please refer to our FAQs.
