About
The Magical Illuminated Trail is a seasonal walk-through light and lantern display set in the gardens of Verdala Castle in Siġġiewi, running most nights from 4 December 2026 to 3 January 2027. Visitors follow a lit path past large illuminated scenes and interactive installations, with castle projections and a Maltese luzzu appearance by Santa as a highlight.
Themed sections include a Psychedelic Garden, Pinocchio's Workshop, Bunny Bakery, Tulip Avenue, Farm Band and a Harry Potter-inspired forest, giving families plenty to spot along the roughly 60-90 minute walk. A Christmas Village and food court sit alongside the trail for drinks, snacks and gifts.
Entry is by timed 20-minute slots booked online; gates open at 17:00 with last entry generally at 20:00 (21:00 between 20 and 30 December). The trail is closed on 24, 25 and 31 December and 1 January. Tickets start at €9 for children, with a free infant ticket required for under-3s; only limited street parking is available nearby.
