The Lanterns return this Christmas at Chester Zoo

About Us

Tickets now on sale for much-loved event, featuring illuminated wildlife and enchanting animal characters. Funds raised from the event will support the zoo’s crucial work as a wildlife conservation charity.

Now in its ninth year, visitors are able to experience the zoo after hours on a set trail in the dark, taking in illuminated wildlife, colourful lanterns and encountering enchanting costumed characters.

The wintertime celebration has previously received widespread public acclaim. This year, the zoo has heavily reduced the number of tickets available to help keep visitors safe and ensure that everyone can maintain social distancing.

The Lanterns has been created by the zoo in partnership with multi award-winning outdoor arts producers, Wild Rumpus.

Tickets are now on sale for selected dates from Friday 13 November - Wednesday 23 December 2020. Child tickets start from £13.50 and adult tickets start from £16.
