Cue the magical soundtrack, and let your feet do the walking through Margam Country Park and Castle! 🌟

As you wander, the gardens and castle exterior come alive with dazzling lights and playful displays. This year's trail is like last years, but bigger, bolder, and with an extra sprinkle of pixie dust! Stretching about a mile, it’s the perfect excuse to stretch your legs and maybe your patience (depending on how often you stop for selfies). Expect to spend 60-90 magical minutes on this journey.

Need a break? Swing by our fire pit for some marshmallow-toasting action (grab some on-site or BYOM – bring your own marshmallows, don’t forget the skewers). And when hunger strikes, we've got you covered with our Courtyard café and a lineup of street food vendors serving up delicious bites until about 9pm. Don’t forget to swing by our drinks and mulled wine huts for a bit of liquid cheer! 🍷

At Luminate Wales, there are unfenced water areas off the trail. Keep an extra eye on the little ones and vulnerable adults!

Our team will be checking trail conditions continuously, but remember, it's an outdoor event in winter after dark, so a bit of caution goes a long way. Supervision of children and vulnerable adults is key!

Enjoy our interactive light installations—they're a lot of fun! Just look for the ones marked for interaction, with stewards nearby to help out. Please avoid touching any other lights or electrical setups, and keep supervising your group to ensure everyone's safe.

🐾 Hey there, fellow dog lovers! For everyone's safety and fun, we kindly ask that you leave your furry friends at home when visiting Luminate, except for guide and assistance dogs. But guess what? We've got some pawsome news! 🐶

🌟 BACK FOR 2025 🌟

We've added more dog days! Dogs will be welcome to join their two legged friends on 24th and 27th November, 1st, 4th, 8th, 11th, 15th, 18th, 22nd, 26th and 29th December 2025. Only on these days, you and your pups can enjoy the magical trails together. Just look for the dog symbol on our calendar. Remember, apart from these days, dogs aren't allowed at Luminate. We can't wait to see you and your canine companions! 🐕✨

Our furry friends are welcome on these nights, provided at all times their owners follow the rules below:

All dogs must be accompanied by a responsible adult and remain under the supervision and control of the responsible adult at all times.

1 dog per adult max

As with all two legged guests, dogs must remain on the clearly marked footpath at all times.

Dogs must be kept on a short lead at all times - no extendable leads please.

Dogs must not be left unattended at any time.

Any dogs behaving aggressively (including towards other dogs) will not be allowed to enter the trail or will be asked to leave. Luminate reserves the right to refuse entry or to remove any dogs we feel are dangerous/a safety risk to other dogs and visitors or any which are causing a disturbance and disrupting the event for other visitors.

Please be a responsible dog owner - clean up after your pet and use the bins provided.

Thank you in advance for co-operating with these rules to ensure everyone’s safety and enjoyment. Failure to comply with any of the above rules will result in your dog being denied entry/removed from the trail.
