Lights of Abraham: Hilltop Park opens for a 3rd glowing winter

20 November – 30 December 2026

Derbyshire’s award-winning visitor attraction, The Heights of Abraham, is delighted to announce that the 2026 “Lights of Abraham” will shine again this winter. Make your way down the festoon-lit riverside walkway before arriving at the base station to board your cable car, and take a moonlit flight across the river and above an avenue of colour.

Once you arrive at the summit set off on the trail that winds through illuminated gardens, across boardwalks and along woodland paths. You’ll encounter many interesting and unusual scenes along the way.

Look out for the neon forest, the ginormous moon, interactive stepping stones, instruments, winter garden & colourful surprises around every corner. The Vista Bar will be open serving festive tipples alongside its usual drinks menu, with pizzas on offer too. Downstairs in the cafe we will be serving jacket potatoes, loaded chips including festive fries, and delicious cake. The Snap Tin will be open too with take away drinks and festive treats.

We also have lovely firepits to toast marshmallows on and keep warm! Please note, hot food service ends 1 hour before closing. If you are arriving later and hoping to dine with us, we suggest you do this first before setting out on the trail.

Open from 16:00 to 20:00*
20th November to 30th December 2026
Excluding Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and Boxing Day
*last entry time 19:00, this may vary.
