Light Post Farm Now Booking to 22 December 2024
An enchanted garden, tunnel of light, disco duck pond and a rainbow race track are just some of the magical features to explore at the brand new Christmas light trail at White Post Farm.
Light Post Farm is now open at the popular family farm near Newark presented by the team behind Gloworm Festival. Glowing reviews are in after the attraction officially welcomed its first visitors last week.
Not only that, two adorable baby lambs have now been born. Visitors will be able to see the new arrivals named Bertie and Ernie on their way round the trail.
Another special feature is the giant Advent Calendar featuring 24 designs created by Art & Design students at Nottingham College.
Nottingham College Level 2 Art and Design course lead, Kathryn Burton, said: “It has been wonderful to see our students so inspired. The brief fitted perfectly alongside their Menagerie project where they take inspiration from both children’s book illustrations and the animal world to create their own magical and whimsical artworks. I am very proud of what the students have achieved in such a short period of time and I am looking forward to what the public think!”
Art and Design student, Hamzah Norris, said: “I am interested to see what memories my art will make at the farm. I like it when you see a kid walk over and point at a piece of work and say “wow that’s really cool”.
What do others say?
“My favourite spot along the trail, and one I highly recommend for photos, is the light-up Christmas tree and the dazzling rainbow road lights. These displays truly captured the festive spirit and were perfect for creating cherished Christmas memories with the family. It truly is a spectacular experience that people of all ages can enjoy.” – Left Lion
“All in all, Light Post Farm is the perfect (and very reasonably priced) way to kick-start your festive season, my children both loved it and I’d highly recommend it for families looking to get their Christmas on.” – Newark Advertiser
Richard Walpole, Director at Gloworm Festival, said: “We are thrilled with our collaboration with White Post Farm for the Light Post Farm Christmas Trail. The installation has brought so much joy, and it’s wonderful to offer an affordable Christmas experience for families across the East Midlands. We’re also incredibly grateful to Nottingham College for their incredible Advent calendar installation, which adds a special touch to this festive season.”
