trail, which has been designed to maintain social distance from others.
Presenting Christmas at Heaton Park, this year’s event also features new themes
and creations to discover!
Lighting up Manchester this winter, and throughout the festive season, Lightopia 2020 revealed new installations and a brand-new route for guests to explore.
