Magical Woodlands Illuminated Trail at Blakemere: A Collaboration with dBS Solutions
Every winter, Blakemere Village comes alive with the Magical Woodlands Illuminated Trail, drawing thousands of visitors from across the North West. From late October, the woodland transforms into a spectacularly eerie Halloween experience, followed by a magical Christmas atmosphere, complete with lights, soundtrack, and the very essence of the holiday season.
For the 2023 event, dBS Solutions were proud to partner with the event organisers to deliver a captivating experience that delighted guests of all ages. Our team was contracted to provide trail design, lighting, audio infrastructure, and staffing, ensuring every element of the trail was meticulously crafted to immerse visitors in the festive ambiance.
Designing the Magic
Working closely with the event organisers, power suppliers, and other contractors, the dBS Solutions team designed unique, themed zones that offered an interactive and thrilling experience. From a spooky introduction, created and recorded by our in-house team, visitors were guided through the trail by a Witch, a Ghostbuster, and a Mad scientist. This immersive experience was further enhanced by the use of cutting-edge technologies, including time-coded audio, synchronised lighting effects, and the latest in outdoor lighting innovations.
Despite facing some of the harshest winter weather conditions, our advanced technology and meticulous planning ensured the trail remained fully operational, providing an unforgettable experience for all.
Building on the success of 2023, dBS Solutions is already working on the next iteration of the Magical Woodlands event for 2024 which will be opening in the coming month. With exciting new concepts and even more interactive elements in the works, we can’t wait to unveil our latest offering that promises to be even more magical. A big thanks goes out to our team who looked after the design and installation last year
