Following the success of previous seasons, Wonderlights returns to Malahide Castle & Gardens for its sixth spectacular season, transforming the historic estate into a magical world of light, colour, sound and imagination.
A brand-new theme is coming…
We’re preparing something completely new for 2026. This year’s Wonderlights theme will be revealed soon, so keep an eye out for the big announcement.
New for 2026: Capture the Magic
Make your Wonderlights experience one to remember with our brand-new Memory Capture experience.
Professional photographers will be positioned throughout the show to capture those special moments with your family and friends, surrounded by the glow of Wonderlights. At the end of your journey, you’ll have the opportunity to view your photographs and choose your favourites, with printed and digital copies available to purchase.
It’s the perfect way to take a little piece of the magic home with you.
Alpine Food & Drink Village
No visit to Wonderlights is complete without a little festive indulgence! The Alpine Food & Drink Village returns to Malahide Castle & Gardens, offering the perfect place to pause, relax and refuel during your evening.
Set beneath twinkling festoon lights, the cosy village will feature picnic-style seating and a tempting selection of festive food and drinks.
Whether you’re warming up with a hot drink, grabbing a bite before continuing your journey through Wonderlights or settling in for a well-deserved break afterwards, the Alpine Food & Drink Village is open every evening throughout the event.
