I’d happily get lost here…

A brand new attraction is making its way to Cheshire for the first time ever this December with the hopes to get us all into the festive spirit.

Just outside of Manchester, titled ‘Spectrum: A World of Illumination’, this spectacular never-seen-before trail is lighting up Cheshire with a month-long residency in Knutsford.

Running every day in December besides Christmas Day, plus a few extra dates in November, the spectacular display will be inviting guests along for 30 out of 31 days in the yuletide month.

The immersive maze will feature moving giant candy canes, overhead Christmas-inspired installations like a laser show, and tunnels of light.

Visitors are encouraged to get stuck in with hidden objects and handles and buttons which lead to secret rooms and festive treasures to be found and explored throughout the attraction.

You can even create a Christmas carol medley of your own and sing to your heart’s content with a section of the trail featuring sound tubes.

There’s a mostly open top too, so you can look up into the night sky as you explore the maze.

There’s not only a feast for your eyes but also for your Santa bellies too as a selection of hand-picked food vendors will be supplying tons of festive goodies to warm your soul.

Spectrum: A World of Illumination caters to everyone offering spaces for guide dogs, quieter time slots for those wanting a calmer experience and accessibility all-round where possible.

This is expected to be one of the best Christmas activities of the year, designed by specialists Access Events, who have some impressive feats behind them.

The multi award winning company has had involvement and created some of the most impressive light features to date including the Weather Project at the Tate, the e-Sports arena build, and turning the Berlin TV Tower into a football.

They’re so certain this event will do well there’s already news and information about a 2025 event between Access Events and Royal Cheshire Show Grounds.

Tickets for ‘Spectrum: A World of Illumination’ are already on sale and those of you who are eager to start planning your Christmas calendar can get tickets from Eventbrite.
