This Christmas, Luton Hoo Estate is hosting a brand-new event with plenty for the whole family to enjoy.
Running on selected dates from 4 December 2026 to 3 January 2027, Christmas at Luton Hoo Estate offers three experiences. Explore the Light Trail, with illuminations and music throughout the walled garden and woodland. Get your skates on at the Skating Rink, suitable for children aged three and over. Or visit The Grotto, where children can join an interactive adventure with the elves before enjoying their own family meeting with Father Christmas. Paid child tickets include a souvenir gift.
Across the estate, live festive performances, seasonal food and drink add to the atmosphere, creating plenty of reasons to stay, explore and make an occasion of the visit.
VIP packages for groups of four, six or eight include reserved heated lounge seating, two skating sessions, unlimited hot chocolate, mulled wine for adults and a food item per guest.
On selected Christmas Tails dates, even the family dog can join in, with a visit to Father Christmas and a special gift. Starlight sessions offer reduced capacity and quieter audio within the Light Trail and The Grotto for families with additional needs.
Whether you're visiting with little ones, older children or the whole family, there's something special waiting for everyone.
