Get ready to be dazzled and mesmerised in Marlay!

 

Ireland's largest light show as arrived to south Dublin as we showcase the beloved Marlay Park by Night.

 

 This theme will transport visitors into a realm of illumination, celebrating the park’s natural beauty after dark. The Wicklow Way Wildlife installation will feature large golden sculptures of animals that have roamed the Wicklow Way, including rabbits, foxes, deer, squirrels, and even brown bears from times past. The Night Sky will be projected onto a 30-metre hydro screen over the lake, offering an awe-inspiring display of the moon rising, the Northern Lights, and nocturnal wildlife under a starlit sky.

 

Visitors will also have the unique opportunity to ride a 35-metre-high observation wheel, exclusive to Marlay Park, for panoramic views of the illuminated landscape below. 

No open until January 4th, featuring iconic displays, wondrous installations and magical creatures, get ready to be amazed.

Alpine Food & Drink Village

Get ready to satisfy your festive food cravings with our exciting new addition to the Wonderlights experience – the Alpine Food & Drinks Village.

No need to worry about going hungry during your visit; Set amidst a cozy atmosphere with picnic benches and twinkling festoon lights, our Alpine Food & Drinks Village is the perfect place to take a break. It will be open every evening of the event, so you can treat yourself to some delightful bites before or after your walk by Wonderlight.

Accomodation

We work in close partnership with the grounds staff of Marlay Park to enhance the natural features of the woodland areas and maintain the integrity of the parklands.

Our show will be powered by hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO). Considered one of the cleanest fuel alternatives, HVO eliminates CO2 emissions by up to 90%. In line with this, all our lights use the most energy-efficient bulbs available.

In selecting Marlay Park we are advocating accessibility by public transport. While there is a car park, the location is served by numerous bus routes which we encourage our visitors to choose where they can.
