For many of us, twinkling lights been part of festive celebrations since as early as we can remember. But where did Christmas lights originate? This week, we’re looking at the history and meaning behind them!

We’re excited to share more about our Winter Light Trails in Northampton and Trentham this winter, but we’ve also got plenty of local things to do, seasonal recipes and more to share with you this autumn/winter, to help you make the most of the shorter days and longer nights, and create magical memories with loved ones!
