Join us for a magical journey after hours…
Colchester Zoo will close at 4:30pm to day visitors as usual, before opening at 5:30pm, leaving the zoo behind as the trail of light comes to life!
With a host of NEW illuminations along a designated route, dancing fountains and fairies spreading their magic, our light trail event will leave you feeling enchanted.
As you gaze at the twinkling lights you'll also have the chance to enjoy a live musical brass band performance as we are joined by Tendering Brass Band and Thundersley Brass Band on selected evenings. PLUS, there will be a themed photo point so you can purchase a souvenir of your magical evening.
Seasonal food and drinks will be available along the route to keep you warm and cosy as you discover the trail, so there is no need to worry about eating beforehand!
