Recently we’ve enjoyed the most magical light trail at Ushaw historic house and gardens. There really was a sense of Christmas nostalgia in the air with songs of Christmas past hanging in the air and a chance to talk about all our wonderful memories while making new ones with the next generation!
For the first time, Illuminating Ushaw includes the stunning interior of St. Cuthbert’s Chapel. Enchantingly lit and decorated, this unique experience will be an atmospheric and captivating highlight of the route.
The gardens were transformed by new art installations, illuminated features and decorations, creating a Winter Wonderland that was beautiful to see.
Some of these were:
Catching Stars – a dome-shaped artwork located at the centre of our gardens, filled with hundreds of suspended and illuminated stars, all designed by children from local schools.
Three large scale installations by local artists
Father Christmas gliding through the night sky and a festive willow tunnel for little ones + much more!

I’m Cassie, a mum of 3, (most of the time I haven’t had chance to straighten my hair or drink a hot cup of tea) trying to juggle life as we all are and failing some of the time, but try and see my glass as half full!
