Special events at LEGOLAND Windsor Each year LEGOLAND Windsor hosts a number of special events . Most are annual , and take place year on year , but occasionally one - off events are held . Annual Events . After Dark . Held during the Easter School Holidays , the After Dark event spans three days , during which the park ’ s opening hours are extended to 9pm . As the name suggests , most of the event takes place after sunset , when a laser show can be observed over the LEGO City Harbour , or , in more recent years , over the Adventure Land Lake . This is often accompanied by small pyrotechnics , and in recent years water displays . To celebrate LEGOLAND ’ s 10th Anniversary in 2006 , a large water projection screen was created over the Adventure Land Lake , and was used to project various images onto , including the 10th Anniversary logo . These events are also given themes , for example the 2007 event was given a Batman theme . Most rides within the park usually stay open until the park closes at 9pm . This excludes certain rides such as Boating School and Fairy Tale Brook , which close at dusk as they do not have sufficient lighting ; a large safety issue as they are water rides . Rides such as the Dragon Coaster become very popular after dark , as without trackside lighting they take on the feel of an indoor dark ride . LEGOLAND LIVE ! A recent addition to the parks special events , LEGOLAND Live is a concert aimed at young children , which takes place in July at the start of school summer holidays . Various activities are held around the park , such as circus skills workshops within Brickadilly ’ s Circus Tent . Entertainers in costume also walk around the park . The highlight is a concert - style performance , showcasing performers for young children . For example , the 2007 LEGOLAND Live ! concert featured Barney & Friends , Bob the Builder and Pingu . Amazing Machines . Another recent addition to the special events calendar is Amazing Machines , which is held over a weekend in September . Monster Trucks and motorbikes perform various stunts in the arena . Classical vehicles are also brought into the park and are showcased in various different areas . Fireworks . This is the only event to have occurred every year since the park opened in 1996 . Usually spanning two weekends , the end of season fireworks often bring the park to capacity . Activities take place around the park all day , and have included such things as treasure hunts and dance workshops . Rides usually close one hour before the show commences , and some reopen after the show to alleviate congestion on the exit roads . The fireworks are usually fired from Adventure Land , with the whole area being cordoned off and used as a firing area and fall - out zone . The exit road also constitutes part of the fall - out zone , and so during the show it is not possible to leave the park . The show is regularly described as one of the largest firework displays in the south of England . The main viewing areas are the LEGO City Harbour , and the bottom of Miniland . At these locations , large public address systems are set up which play the music for the show . There is also a pre - display show , with special lighting effects and sometimes video , which ties in with the theme of the event . As the park is on a moderately steep hill , and the fireworks are detonated from the bottom , it is possible to have a good view from most of the park , though it is not possible to hear the music or see the pre - show from many areas . The event is always themed , usually around a range of LEGO products . Previous themes have included Rock Raiders , LEGO Insectoids and BIONICLE . The most recent theme was Star Wars .
