Gulliver’s Theme Park Resorts is to bring its Land of Lights festival back to all three participating resorts for winter 2026.
The illuminated attraction will return to Gulliver’s Land in Milton Keynes, Gulliver’s World in Warrington and Gulliver’s Valley in Rotherham, featuring new lanterns and displays across 12 themed dreamworlds.
The programme will also incorporate dinosaur displays, music, entertainment and street food.
Land of Lights was first introduced at Gulliver’s Land in Milton Keynes in 2022 before expanding to Gulliver’s World in Warrington in 2023. Gulliver’s Valley in Rotherham joined the programme in 2025.
The Milton Keynes festival will open on Saturday 17 October and run until the end of February 2027.
Land of Lights at Gulliver’s World will begin on Saturday 24 October and continue until the end of January, while the Gulliver’s Valley event will open on 6 November and run until early January.
Gulliver’s said the events are expected to attract thousands of visitors across the three locations during the winter season.
Julie Dalton, Managing Director of Gulliver’s Theme Park Resorts, said: “We are delighted to be bringing Land of Lights back for another season following the incredible response from families over the past few years. What started as a popular festive attraction has grown into one of the most anticipated events in our calendar, attracting visitors from across the country.
“This year’s spectacular trails at Gulliver’s World, Gulliver’s Land and Gulliver’s Valley will feature an array of breathtaking lanterns, immersive displays and magical experiences designed to captivate visitors of all ages. Each event offers a unique opportunity for families and friends to come together and enjoy an unforgettable evening in a truly enchanting setting.
“Creating special memories for families has always been at the heart of what we do, and Land of Lights perfectly reflects that commitment. The events also make a valuable contribution to the local visitor economy, supporting jobs and attracting thousands of guests to the communities surrounding our resorts.
“We look forward to welcoming both returning visitors and those experiencing Land of Lights for the very first time.”
