New 2026 Christmas light trail with thousands of lights, a glowing pathway, music and a Snow Goblin at The Rose & Crown in Wolston, designed for families.
The Wolston Light Trail opens at The Rose & Crown on Thursday 19 November, running through to Sunday 20 December. It's a brand-new addition for 2026, so this is its first year. The pub, at 28 Main Street in Wolston, is transformed into an immersive festive experience built around an interactive Christmas story, with thousands of lights, glowing pathways, and music along the way. There's even a cheeky Snow Goblin to spot as you go. It's designed especially for families with young children, so it's one of those things that works best if you've got little ones in tow.
It's a partnership between The Rose & Crown and Wolston Juniors FC, the club founded in 2019 whose current kit sponsor is the pub itself. £1 from every ticket sold goes to the club to support grassroots football in the local community, so your visit helps out the local kids' side as well.
If you want to make an evening of it, you can come in advance for freshly prepared food from Thorns Smoked BBQ & Grill, with seasonal snacks and drinks at the bar. There's free parking at the pub, which makes it easier if you're driving in from across Coventry. It runs rain or shine, so you don't have to worry about the weather ruining the plan.
