Lantern festival with large-scale light displays, dinosaur and fairytale scenes across Gulliver's Land, part of the Christmas package.
Land of Lights is coming to Gulliver's Land in Milton Keynes from 22 November to 23 December 2026, as part of the resort's Christmas and New Year's Eve packages. It's a lantern festival that fills the park with larger-than-life lantern scenes, dazzling dinosaurs and fairytale kingdoms, so it's as much about the scale of the things as the light itself. If you've got kids in tow, there's also Santa's Enchanted Elevator, an immersive experience that takes you on a virtual flight to the North Pole and lands you at Santa's Grotto.
That's just one part of the Christmas side of things, though. The resort puts together festive packages that include a visit to Santa in his Grotto and children picking their own gift from the Elf Workshop. If you're looking for something more, there are Christmas sleepovers and a New Year's Eve celebration with themed accommodation, food, drink, entertainment and fireworks. Gulliver's Land is one of four UK resorts under the Gulliver's Theme Park brand, with other sites in Warrington, Matlock Bath and Rotherham.
