Christmas Lights at Dunham Massey
The Parish Council, in partnership with the National Trust, is distributing complimentary, resident only tickets for the Dunham Massey Christmas Lights event being held on Thursday 19th November.
How to apply:
Applications for tickets can be made using an application form which will be delivered to your house by 11th October.

Each household may apply for:
- Tickets only for the permanent residents living in the home (maximum 4)

You cannot apply for tickets for friends or family members who do not live permanently in your household, even if they are visiting or temporarily staying with you. Tickets are non-transferable.
How tickets are allocated:
We anticipate being able to meet demand, however, if demand exceeds supply, tickets will be allocated giving priority to households considered to be most affected by the event, proximity to the park and the likely impact of noise, traffic and disruption.
Entry times will be allocated based on availability and cannot be changed.
We will contact you if your application has been unsuccessful.
