Be among the first to walk through this brand-new structure, where daylight alone brings the luminarium to life, captivating visitors of all ages.

This year we will have just one ticket type, with entry time slots every 30 minutes between 11am-5pm. We will ask you to arrive shortly ahead of the timeslot you’ve purchased tickets for (e.g. 11.30am) to join the queue. We aim to get you into the luminarium no later than 20-30 minutes after the time stated on your ticket (and hopefully sooner than that). Essentially, every ticket is a priority ticket.

If you arrive ahead of your timeslot, we’ll ask you to wait before joining the queue. Please enjoy the park, stop off at one of our cafés or wander around the lake whilst you wait.

Spanning 900 square metres, this intricate labyrinth of tunnels and domes carries a ‘light from above’ theme, with translucent material casting radiant colour into the spaces below. Experience its sensory bliss, and its domes featuring ‘stars’– points of light created by translucent discs embedded in the fabric.
