Oulton & Woodlesford - Christmas Walk 2025

Welcome to the Oulton & Woodlesford Christmas Walk Map 2025

Use the map below to discover festive houses and local businesses you can walk to and enjoy.

We’re not aiming to turn the villages into a full winter wonderland — this is simply a fun, gentle way for residents to enjoy some seasonal walks and see the decorations our community has created. This could be external displays including lights, or decorated windows.

If you’d like to add your house or business to the map, please complete this form.

Add my place!

You choose how much information you share — you can list your full address, or just your street name and postcode if you prefer.

The map will be updated once a day with any new entries to visit.

If you have any questions get in touch.
