King Charles is set to make Sandringham sparkle

King Charles and his team are already making plans for November and Sandringham is set to come to life with countless twinkling fairy lights to get visitors feeling festive.

Luminate is returning to the Sandringham Estate in the next few weeks. This is where the grounds of Sandringham are turned into a sparkling light show after sundown.

Unsurprisingly, visitors of the estate are very excited to welcome the display back this year.

The news was shared on social media on Wednesday, where Sandringham Estate showed off snaps of the marvellous event during previous years.

Christmas at Sandringham Estate

The caption read: “@luminateuk returns to The Sandringham Estate this winter, transforming The Royal Parkland into an enchanting after-dark wonderland.

“Follow a mile-long trail through the Parkland, lit by thousands of twinkling lights and set to music. You can also take a ride on the vintage funfair, toast marshmallows under the stars, and indulge in festive food and drinks from the Sandringham Courtyard Restaurant. Book your tickets today via the link in our bio.”

Evidently, the event has been a hit in previous years as hopeful visitors flocked to the comment section to share their praise in response.

“Cannot wait! We’ve been for the past two years, it’s absolutely magical!” penned one.

“So pretty,” added another.

“Our favourite way to start the winter celebrations – exploring Luminate at Sandringham,” chimed in a third.

“Beautiful,” gushed a fourth.

It looks like the Luminate event is going to be fit for all the family.

The team have reportedly organised specific dates where dogs can visit the trail. There are also slots tailored to those with additional sensory needs.

It looks like the ideal night out with the family and we guess that the royals themselves will even be impressed.

Let’s just say King Charles is definitely going to be the grandparent in demand if his grandkids visit his Norfolk estate!

Although, this isn’t the only event the royal estates have up their sleeve.
