STOURHEAD has officially unveiled the 2025 Christmas light trail.
The National Trust property has been transformed into an illuminated wonderland, with a host of new features.
Open until December 31, organisers said the 2025 Christmas at Stourhead light trail “combines returning favourites with spectacular new installations designed to surprise and enchant”.
Among the highlights is Tis The Season, a display of 10 extra-large neon baubles by Output Arts.
Inspired by cherished Christmas memories, the delicate oversized decorations range from 30cm to 60cm in diameter and 40cm to 90cm in height, and hang delicately overhead.
New showstoppers for 2025 include 12 illuminated stars, each reaching up to 5m high and created by ArtAV, alongside six walkthrough star arches stretching 4.7m tall and spanning more than 3m across the path.
They join visual vistas ranging from colour-changing neon spiral trees, each three metres tall, to the 24m-long Christmas Cathedral.

Visitors can also expect illuminated snowdrop and cyclamen flowers, dynamic chandeliers crafted from 200 glowing battens, and five neon winter flowers – ivy, mistletoe, holly, poinsettia and amaryllis – each standing 2.5m tall.
A Stourhead spokesperson said: “The experience is as much about atmosphere as it is about spectacle.
“Guests can warm up with indulgent festive treats from hand-picked food and drink stalls, sip on spiced winter warmers, enjoy rich hot chocolate, or toast marshmallows over open fire pits while the twinkling lights reflect off the stunning lakeside views.”
Christmas at Stourhead is produced by Sony Music in partnership with the National Trust, with the trail created by Culture Creative.
Adult tickets cost £16 off-peak, £22.50 standard and £25 peak, and child tickets are £12 off-peak, £16 standard, and £18.50 at peak times.
