An annual after-dark experience hidden in Norfolk's royal parkland has been reimagined for 2024 featuring a mile-long illuminated lights trail.

The King’s Sandringham estate has once again been transformed into a winter wonderland.

It features a tunnel of thousands of fairy lights, interactive play including a light beam game, and a “fire tree”.

Visitors can also take part in its Make a Wish section by writing their Christmas wishes on gift tags to be hung among the lights.

Other elements include a Christmas tree maze and a brightly lit tree house.

There is also a vintage fair on the site, with a helter-skelter and a big wheel, along with festive food stalls.

Sandringham House has been the private home for generations of British monarchs for more than 160 years and now belongs to the King.

Luminate Sandringham runs nightly until December 24.
