Curated by the UK's premier light decoration experts, Diamond Lights is one of the best family-friendly Derbyshire attractions to visit this festive season. Arriving at Waters View in December, it promises an enchanting display of luminous colour, light and festive cheer against a backdrop of the darkened rolling hills and countryside. Take advantage of this memorable family experience, and book your tickets now.
As you enjoy the spectacular Diamond Lights experience, your visit will also help raise essential funds for our local nominated charity – Ashgate Hospice - as 10% of all ticket sales will go toward helping their essential fundraising efforts. The fabulous team at Ashgate provide excellent palliative and end-of-life care and bereavement support for people and families dealing with life-limiting illnesses.
An Evening for the Whole Family
From 6th December 2024 to 5th January 2025, Waters View will offer a new and immersive experience for the entire family. During their visit, adults and children can enjoy a magical blend of attractions, festive activities, and entertainment. The night will include a spectacular "Dancing Under the Diamonds" experience, a dazzling Pro Lighting Walk-Through Tree, and a breathtaking "Field of Diamond Ice" encounter.
Children of all ages will have the chance to meet Santa. At the same time, the whole family can indulge in a spot of Christmas shopping, with artisan traders showcasing a mix of handcrafted delights and fabulous Christmas gift ideas. You can also enjoy the evening with a seasonal beverage or two, and don't forget to try out some tasty treats to keep you warm and in the festive mood. Throughout the evening, live music and meet & greet characters will add to the charm as all the family enjoys soaking up the atmosphere.
Why Waters View?
Set on the edge of the Peak District, in the rolling hills of the Derbyshire countryside, Waters View is a stunning and spacious location, affording a breathtaking and panoramic view over Carsington Water - the region's landmark reservoir. Just a 20-minute drive from Derby, 15 minutes from Matlock, and 5 minutes from Ashbourne, the wider tourist hotspot is ideal for children of all ages to enjoy a stroll around the water's edge, engage in a spot of water sports, or burn off some energy in the adventure playground, but when dark falls, close by Waters View will be transformed into a mesmerising, beautifully lit attraction, filled with festive lights and surprises.
Across its 18-acre setting, Waters View, Carsington is home to C W Sellors' recently built state-of-the-art facility with visitor experiences at its heart. While the main building will shortly be open to all visitors with a wide range of retail, manufacturing and hospitality on offer, by night, the location is set to become just as impressive as the building itself as its spectacular surroundings provide an ideal location in which to enjoy this unique open space against the backdrop of the moonlit water.
Dancing Under the Diamonds
Walk through this captivating light show and absorb a mesmerising display inside the UK's largest light tunnel. The spectacular show of twinkling diamonds, synchronised to festive music, is a moving experience for children and adults to enjoy together.
The Dancing Under the Diamonds attraction may even put you in the mood to explore our C W Sellors range of diamond jewellery designs in time for Christmas.
Pro Lighting Walk Through Tree
The Twinkly Pro Lighting Tree captures the magic of the holiday season with a breathtaking light canopy that will capture the imaginations of excited little ones in the build-up to the big day. The illuminated Walk-Through Tree experience is a must-see attraction at the event and one that the whole family will remember for years to come.
The Field of Diamond Ice
More diamonds, this time under a blanket of stars, as you immerse yourself in a frozen world of impressive ice sculptures and glistening diamond-inspired decorations. Those who would love to recreate the winter wonderland scene of famous Christmas movies will thoroughly enjoy this fairytale display of ice, diamonds and light.
Meet Santa
Of course, no Christmas outing is complete without a visit to see Santa and Diamond Lights will keep the magic and opportunity alive throughout December as children soak up a magical atmosphere in an enchanted, unforgettable setting.
Even More
While experiencing Diamond Lights, you will also be able to enjoy a host of additional features that can be explored throughout your visit. Take a photo with our life-size characters to be found as you walk through the event, including The Grinch and Elsa, while a wide selection of stalls will offer local food and drink to keep you in the festive mood.
