Tickets for a sparkling new light trail that will illuminate Kent’s biggest wildlife park are on sale.

Visitors can get their hands on tickets to the new festive trail, coming to Port Lympne Hotel and Reserve in Hythe this Christmas, from today (June 25).

You can book tickets to the event here.

The tickets, which have only been on sale to members so far, have already started selling out for popular time slots, so it’s advised to book early if you fancy going along.

The brand-new winter event will include 13 colourful art installations, an enchanting fairy disco, winter wonderland scenes, light tunnels, themed signage, a vintage funfair and festive food and drink.

It’s all designed by LCI Productions, who have created captivating stories using light and water shows, interactive elements and spectacular holograms.

The trail has been carefully designed to enhance the environment of the 600-acre park and not disturb any of the wildlife.
