Magical Land of Lights Lantern Festival is back at Gulliver’s World for 2024

The Land of Lights Lantern Festival is returning to Warrington this winter.

The Land of Lights will be opening in Gulliver’s World Resort for a second time from October with new lights and a brand-new theme for 2024.

The cultural and artistic lantern festival was a first for the theme park in 2023 after proving successful at its sister site in Milton Keynes.

And it was such a hit that it’s going to be back again this year.

The new theme will be WonderWild which organises say will bring ‘nature and animals to life like you’ve never seen before’.

Describing the festival, Ross Partridge, Lands of Lights festival manager, said last year: “It’s a spectacular, illuminated attraction that provides people from the local area with a great night out, as well as attracting visitors from far and wide to Warrington to experience the breathtaking moments and awe-inspiring installations bursting with energy and culture.”

The Land of Lights Lantern Festival, which sits alongside the resort’s other Christmas events and activities, includes thousands of handcrafted lanterns and hundreds of thousands of LED lights to create new fantasy worlds at the popular venue.

Different realms being created for 2024 include a Fantasy Forest, Ice Kingdom, and Winged Wonders, all developed amid an enchanting journey into a reimagined world of nature, plants, and animals.

And it’s not just lights.

Aimed at all ages, as well as a vivid dream world, the lantern festival will offer music and entertainment, and street food and drink from local vendors will be available throughout the event.

There will also be photo points across the trail to capture magical moments for your Insta page – or just for you! – and there will be dog-friendly nights along with free parking.

Super Early Bird tickets are set to be released from this Sunday, September 1.
