GOSH Charity bolsters Neverland trails slate with Leeds Castle experience

Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity is adding to its Neverland trails programme with a festive experience at Leeds Castle in Kent.

Neverland Christmas in the Castle, launching from November 22nd to January 5th 2026, promises ‘an immersive journey into the beloved world of JM Barrie’s Peter Pan’. A generous amount of proceeds from this event will be donated to the GOSH Charity.

The collaboration with Leeds Castle follows GOSH Charity’s new partnership with RG Live and Culture Creative to create immersive Neverland indoor trails and outdoor light trails – the first of which will be at Kenwood on London’s Hampstead Heath from November 21st to January 3rd.

Further UK trails are in advanced discussions.

“We are immensely proud of the legacy we share with Peter Pan author JM Barrie and are delighted to see his world-renowned characters take flight at the magnificent Leeds Castle as we continue to develop our Neverland trails programme to bring the magical world to life at special locations across the UK – and even further afield,” said GOSH Charity’s Head of Partnership Development, Chris Carter.

“Visitors to Neverland Christmas in the Castle this festive season will be making an enormous difference to the lives of seriously ill children and their families at GOSH.”

Helen Bonser-Wilton, Chief Executive of Leeds Castle Foundation, added: “We are delighted to partner with Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity on this magical Christmas adventure that’s a true celebration of imagination and togetherness that will surprise and delight visitors, all while supporting a remarkable charity.”

JM Barrie gifted the rights to Peter Pan to Great Ormond Street Hospital in 1929. The money raised from this has gone towards supporting the work the hospital does to give seriously ill children the best chance and the best childhood possible.
