Northern Lights Newcastle organisers have revealed the trail map for 2025.

Leazes Park is set to be lit up once again this Christmas period as Northern Lights Newcastle returns for its third year from November 27.

Since it was first launched in 2023, Northern Lights Newcastle has welcomed more than 200,000 visitors and has cemented its place as one of the North East’s most loved seasonal events.

The reveal of this year’s brand-new trail map gives an idea what visitors can expect from the route, which has been reversed for 2025.

Northern Lights Newcastle 2025 will feature never-before-seen displays and promises to delight both new and returning visitors.

Highlights for 2025 include:

Spiropath: Spanning an incredible 15 metres wide, this colossal light dome is made up of thousands of glowing LED spheres, each one precisely mapped to pulse, shimmer, and explode with colour in perfect sync with a high-energy soundtrack.
Aurora Lilies: Visitors can wander through an array of white lilies that captivate by day and mesmerise by night; transforming after dark with colour-changing lights that bring them to life.
River of Light: A breathtaking illumination, created by the incredible Ithaca Studio, the team behind spectacular shows for Glastonbury. A sweeping river, bathed in colour, with over 8,000 glowing LED spheres that dance, pulse, and ripple in perfect harmony to a bespoke musical score.
Ho-Ho-Hues: Eleven towering pillars of light illuminate the grounds of Leazes Park, each patterned with intersecting colours designed to be admired from every angle.
Lantern Tree Lane: A heartwarming and colourful new experience created in partnership with the RVI Hospital. Lanterns, each customised by children, are suspended above the pathway, forming a vibrant, glowing garden that celebrates creativity, imagination and community.
The Pearl Blossom: Floating gracefully on the surface of the lake, luminous blossoms emit soft hues of white, pink and blue.
Jungle Tree: The Jungle Tree is transformed with glowing vines of neon light, sparkling moss-inspired illuminations and an atmospheric rainforest-themed soundscape.
Butterfly Blizzard: A stunning array of neon butterflies that glow brilliantly against the night, pixel-mapped to ripple with colour and react to a bespoke music composition.
