Get ready for a magical autumn adventure at The Glittering North at Raby Castle, Park and Gardens.

Running every evening from 4pm – 9pm, this immersive experience is packed with live music, captivating puppetry, and enchanting light displays. Take your time exploring, as this free-flow event allows you to enjoy each element at your own pace, with an estimated dwell time of 90 minutes.

The journey begins on the Glittering Trail, where you’ll encounter fire foxes, towering Norse puppets like the eight-legged Sleipnir, and glowing fish in a mystical water world. Follow the illuminated path to find sweeping valkyries, golden boars, and Odin’s runes lighting up the sky, all while taking in the beautiful autumn scenery.

At The Gathering, settle in at The Riding School for thrilling tales of Norse gods, shapeshifting beasts, and folklore. Musicians will fill the air with lively folk tunes, and fire performers will dazzle as you gather under warm lights to enjoy the show. Delicious food and drinks are available, including Long Horn Beef Stew, mulled wine, and amaretto hot chocolate to keep you cozy throughout the evening.

Extend your evening with late-night shopping at the new Coach House retail space, showcasing a range of high-quality, artisan items – perfect for getting an early taste of Christmas. Plus, you’ll find plenty of free parking, though please note the overflow parking is on grass terrain.
