For winter 2021, Lightopia returns to Heaton Park. Every year the fantastic light festival brings bold and beautiful light and lantern displays. There are also activities for you to enjoy. Everything is Covid-safe and socially distanced.

With spectacular lights and laser shows, the festival offers families of all ages something a little different this festive season.

Enjoy a magical shimmering trail. And walk around the beautiful Christmas-themed displays.

Lightopia offers a special and exciting evening and gets everyone in the mood for Christmas.
