Northern Ireland’s Premier Christmas Event is Back!
Forget everything you know about Christmas lights. From 28 November to 30 December 2025, Antrim Castle Gardens isn't just decorated; it's completely transformed into the spectacular, sparkling world of Enchanted Winter Garden. Northern Ireland’s favourite festive experience is not only returning, but it's also staying longer with brand new attractions and thrilling upgrades that you simply need to see!
What's new for 2025?
-
The Enchanted Tree Choir: Experience the forest come to life!
-
The funfair has been upgraded with exhilarating new rides designed for both little adventurers and adults looking for an adrenaline rush.
-
More Sparkle, More Wow: Wander through the gardens and discover striking new light installations, including a magical light show.
…And the fun doesn't end on Christmas Day!

More thrilling rides than ever before!
The event is being extended for four extra nights after Boxing Day, when the Grinch will take over Santa’s Grotto! Come and meet the infamous green mischief-maker to beat the lull between Christmas and New Year.
All your favourite parts of Enchanted Winter Garden are back to keep those traditions alive:
-
Santa's Grotto: Meet the man in red until 23 December and share your festive wishes.
-
The Festive Food Fayre: Enjoy an irresistible selection of seasonal treats, delicious street food, and warming drinks.
The Enchanted Winter Garden remains a welcoming space for all. On 4 and 10 December, special Inclusive Evenings (supported by The Junction Retail and Leisure Park) offer a calmer environment with softer lighting and reduced sound, ensuring every family can enjoy the enchantment comfortably.
Whether it's your family's treasured annual tradition or your first time stepping into the wonderland, Enchanted Winter Garden 2025 is a must-do this festive season.
