AGLOW promises to be one of the most spectacular Christmas light trails in the North East. With seventeen incredible illuminations and some of the largest light installations in the country, AGLOW is a must-see experience for all the family.

The Auckland Project is a regeneration charity working to establish Bishop Auckland as a heritage visitor destination. They provide days out that feed the minds, bodies and spirits of both visitors and local communities.
Through historic attractions, galleries, nature, food, events and stays, The Auckland Project brings the rich and surprising story of Bishop Auckland to life for tourists. And in turn, the profits and opportunities created by the historic attractions and community engagement work, help create a bright future for Bishop Auckland.
