The Royal Borough of Greenwich’s festive light trail, Sparkle in the Park, is back for a fifth year this Christmas. 

From 28 November to 1 December (4.30 to 9pm), Charlton Park, House and Gardens will be transformed into an enchanted winter wonderland, co-created with Royal Greenwich residents, for local people to enjoy. Visitors can explore the stunning light installations, the Christmas market, a fun fair and enjoy pop up performances from local schools and community choirs.  

Visitors won’t need a ticket or to pre-book to enter this year’s event. We will do our best to minimise any wait times, but please be prepared to queue for entry at busy times, particularly on Saturday evening.

As in previous years, on Sunday 1 December there will be a quiet hour from 4.30 to 5.30pm, for children and adults with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) and sensory sensitivities. During the quiet hour, there will be reduced noise, no flashing lights, a reduced capacity on site and sensory appropriate entertainment. 

In addition to Sparkle in the Park, Charlton House and Gardens will also be running their own festive activities inside the historic property. Stay tuned for their Christmas programme announcements at www.greenwichheritage.org/events/
