Derbyshire’s award-winning visitor attraction, The Heights of Abraham, has announced that the 2025 Lights of Abraham event will shine from 21 November.

The 2025 Lights of Abraham will feature new glittering archways, interactive stepping stones, a neon forest, and giant illuminated creatures including majestic swans, on a trail that can take over an hour to complete.

The Lights of Abraham commences when the Matlock park, which features cable car rides that travel high above spectacular grounds, closes for the season.

“Last year’s winter trail was very popular, so this year we wanted to make sure that returning as well as new guests have plenty of new features to enjoy,” says Rupert Pugh, Development Director at the Heights. “It’s going to be a stunning display. Once the park closes for the main season on 2 November, the team will set to work installing tens of thousands of lights, illuminated figures, and festive decorations. We’re aiming to be even more spectacular than last year”.

During The Lights, the bar and cafe will be open for festive drinks alongside hot snacks, cakes, and Christmas treats. Firepits will also be installed outside to toast marshmallows and provide a focal gathering point.

Guests will arrive via the festoon-lit riverside walkway before boarding cable cars to take a flight across the valley and up through an avenue of colour to the summit. Once at the top, the trail winds along a circular tarmac pathway past historic structures, through woodlands and across raised boardwalks.

The Lights of Abraham opens to the public on Friday 21 November, shining on selected nights until 30 December excluding Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and Boxing Day.
