Crealy Christmas Light Trail 2026

2026-11-03·Exeter

Short answer: Selected weekends in November and selected days in December 2026, near Exeter. It is a theme-park day that includes a light trail rather than an after-dark trail on its own.

Dates

Two separate events, both including the lakeside light trail with its light tunnel.

Both run 10am to 6pm, with late opening on selected November dates.

What it actually is

This is a theme-park day that happens to include a light trail, rather than a trail you visit after dark. If you want an evening walk through lights, Powderham or the Bay of Lights is closer to what you have in mind. If you want a full day out with rides and the lights as the finish, this is the one.

Prices

Christmas day tickets from £18 online. A Santa meet-and-greet is an upgrade from £14, or £10 for annual pass holders. Annual pass holders get in free and do not need to pre-book.

Crealy does not publish a price on the Winter Twilight Fest page at all, and its other pages do not cleanly separate event pricing from standard admission, so check what you are buying before you pay.

Parking cost is not stated anywhere on Crealy’s site.
