We welcomed 80,000 visitors to our North East festive light trail
Northern Lights Newcastle has concluded its third year.
With the end of the festive season comes the conclusion of Northern Lights Newcastle, which was once again held in Leazes Park.
During its spell in 2025, the popular light trail welcomed 80,000 visitors as it further cemented its place as an established part of the North East’s winter events calendar.
Having launched in 2023, Northern Lights Newcastle has now welcomed almost 300,000 visitors across three seasons to view a wide variety of artworks.
Delivered by From The Fields, Northern Lights Newcastle has been consistently recognised as one of the UK’s leading Christmas light trails by national publications including The Times, The Guardian and Time Out.
It has also helped to deliver charitable and community contributions over the last three years, with the event working alongside The Alan Shearer Centre, Newcastle Hospitals Charity and Newcastle United Foundation, and more.
Paul Robson, the event director, said: “Reaching our third year in Newcastle feels like a real milestone.
“The city has truly made Northern Lights its own, and our charity partnerships have been central to that journey.
“Each year gives us the opportunity to refine the experience while ensuring community, inclusion and creativity remain at the heart of the event.”
Organisers have confirmed that plans are already underway for the next edition of Northern Lights Newcastle.
