News from our houses Things to see and do

A major new festive attraction is coming to Hull & East Yorkshire this Christmas as Burton Constable launches Winterlight: The Tudor Glow, its first-ever illuminated winter trail.

Running from 3–23 December 2026, the brand-new experience will transform Burton Constable’s historic parkland into an immersive after-dark trail inspired by the grandeur, colour and craftsmanship of the Tudor age, creating a spectacular new winter experience for visitors to Hull & East Yorkshire.

Visitors will follow a beautifully illuminated route through the parkland, where light, colour and projection combine to create an unforgettable winter evening. Drawing inspiration from Burton Constable’s Tudor and Elizabethan heritage, Winterlight: The Tudor Glow has been designed exclusively for the Hall, celebrating its rich history in an entirely new way.

The launch marks an exciting addition to the region’s festive calendar, giving local residents and visitors alike a spectacular new Christmas experience closer to home.

Alasdair Hutson, Chief Executive of the Burton Constable Foundation, said:

“Across the UK, illuminated winter trails have become hugely popular, and we are delighted to bring our own unique version to Hull & East Yorkshire. Drawing inspiration from Burton Constable’s Tudor heritage, Winterlight: The Tudor Glow will transform our historic parkland with light, colour and storytelling, inviting visitors to experience Burton Constable in an entirely new way.

“For generations, Burton Constable has inspired wonder through its history, beauty and landscape. This winter, we hope visitors will rediscover this remarkable place in a different light, creating magical memories with family and friends and making Winterlight a new highlight of the region’s festive season for many years to come.”

Visitors can also enjoy a range of festive food and warming drinks, including hot chocolate, mulled wine, mince pies and other seasonal favourites, making Winterlight the perfect festive evening out for families, couples and friends.

Winterlight: The Tudor Glow runs from 3–23 December, with timed entry from 4pm each evening. Tickets are on sale now, with visitors encouraged to book early to secure their preferred date.
