Important announcement: Closure of Spectacle of Light – Friday 23 & Saturday 24 October 2026
It is with heavy hearts that due to the Met Office’s Yellow Weather Warning associated with Storm Austen’s gales for the Newbury area, we have taken the difficult decision to close Spectacle of Light on Friday 23 and Saturday 24 October.
We know how much planning goes into a visit and that for many of you this may be a special treat, a family tradition or a surprise for someone you love. We are sorry for the disappointment this may cause and this is not a decision we have taken lightly. However, the safety of our visitors, our team and everyone involved in bringing Spectacle of Light to life must come first.
The good news is that we will be open as planned on Sunday 25 October from 5.30pm and all tickets for Friday 23 and Saturday 24 October can be automatically transferred to any of our other event nights. You don’t need to call ahead, we will honour your tickets on your visit to any night during this year’s event.
Thank you for your understanding, patience and continued support. We are incredibly sad not to be able to welcome you on these two evenings but look forward to welcoming you soon and sharing the magic of Spectacle of Light with you.
