Step into the magic of Glow at Carew Castle this Christmas

Posted On : 19/11/2025

Carew Castle is thrilled to invite families and visitors of all ages to experience Glow, its annual Christmas Illuminations, every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday from 28 November to 14 December, between 4.30pm and 7.30pm.

Visitors during this period will be welcomed into a festive wonderland, with the Castle transformed for the season and filled with twinkling lights, seasonal displays, and a magical atmosphere that promises to delight guests of all ages.

This year’s Glow introduces brand-new atmospheric displays for 2025, bringing fresh wonder to the Castle. Children can take part in the Snowman Trail, following clues hidden around the Castle to earn a special treat. Local choirs and musical groups will perform each weekend in the Lesser Hall, providing a soundtrack of festive melodies throughout the evening.

Daisy Hughes, Manager of Carew Castle, said: “Glow has become one of the most popular events at Carew Castle, and we’re delighted to welcome families back this year. With new displays, music, and activities for children, Glow 2025 promises to be a truly magical experience for everyone.”

Due to its popularity, all visitors must book tickets online in advance. Evening tickets cost £3.50 for adults and £2.50 for children aged 4-16. Free entry is available for annual pass holders, Carew parish residents, wheelchair users, and accompanying carers, though all free tickets must also be booked online and proof of eligibility presented on arrival.

Santa will be in his magical Grotto within the Castle on Saturdays and Sundays from 29 November to 14 December, from 10am to 4pm. Tickets cost £8 per child, including a gift and daytime Castle entry. Adults and children accompanying a child to the Grotto must purchase a valid Castle ticket. The Grotto is fully accessible. Grotto tickets do not include evening Glow entry.

Nest Tearoom will remain open during Glow, serving a mouthwatering selection of festive refreshments. For full details, live performance schedules, and booking information, visit www.carewcastle.com.
