Halloween Town and Christmas Town are heading to Arley Hall & Gardens this autumn, as a light trail inspired by Disney Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas makes its UK debut.
Opening on 22 October 2026, the nighttime trail will take visitors through the Cheshire estate’s grounds until 3 January 2027. It follows runs in New York, Austin and São Paulo, where organisers say more than 500,000 people experienced the attraction.
Fans will be able to walk alongside Jack Skellington, Sally and Zero through 24 sections inspired by the 1993 film. More than 1,700 light installations, video projections, music and 3D-printed sculptures will bring its characters and settings to life, from the eerie streets of Halloween Town to the sparkle of Christmas Town. The Arley Hall trail will also feature four new scenes.
The experience is designed to span both seasons, giving families a chance to visit for a Halloween outing or return for a Christmas trip. Seasonal food and drink, merchandise and on-site parking will be available.
