What can you expect at the Disney Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas Light Trail?

This cinematic adventure has already enchanted over 500,000 visitors in New York City, São Paulo and Austin; now it has made its debut in the UK, promising a dazzling journey through the universe of the fantastical film. The twisting 1.2-mile trail features all your favourite characters and songs, with over 1,700 captivating light installations, 3D-printed sculptures and interactive video projections that will have you reliving much-loved moments from the film.

You’ll be able to follow in the footsteps of Jack Skellington as you step into iconic scenes from the film. Tread carefully when you come upon Oogie Boogie’s lair, a neon-drenched installation tucked among a tangle of trees that makes for the perfect photo op. Elsewhere, you can air-pat the glowing sculpture of Zero and cast a wary eye at the mischievous trick-or-treating trio of Lock, Shock and Barrel. Looking forward to Christmas? A rosy-cheeked Santa Claus installation is at hand for a festive selfie.

Where is the new Disney Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas Light Trail located?

You can find this eerie extravaganza just a 51-minute drive from Liverpool. Located at the storied Arley Hall & Gardens, a Grade II-listed estate which once served as the luxurious countryside home of Tommy Shelby in the hit show Peaky Blinders, the trail winds through the forest and illuminates the surrounding nature with kaleidoscopic colour.

No car? You can opt for a taxi straight there, or grab a 40-minute train from Liverpool Lime Street to nearby Warrington Central Station, then hop in a taxi for the final 25 minutes.
