About This Event

AGLOW is a family light trail of about one and a half miles through the 150-acre Deer Park at Auckland Palace, with light, sound, sculpture and fire installations, a tall lit Christmas tree, Santa's Village and a range of food and drink. Allow around 1.5 hours for the trail. It runs from 20 November 2026 to 3 January 2027 with timed entry slots every 15 minutes between 4:30pm and 7:30pm, and gates close at 9pm. It is closed on 23, 24, 25, 26 and 30 November, 1 December and Christmas Day. Under-16s must be accompanied by an adult. The full trail is not wheelchair accessible, so a shorter accessible route is available, and carer tickets are offered with proof of eligibility.
