Prepare for a luminous spectacle as Longleat unveils its spectacular Festival of Light, transforming the estate into a mesmerising winter wonderland adorned with 1,500 lanterns.
From 11th November 2022 to 7th January 2023, visitors are invited to immerse themselves in the enchanting tales of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, and other cherished stories, all illuminated by the warm glow of lantern artistry.
This year’s festivities promise an abundance of seasonal delights, including beloved attractions like the awe-inspiring 20-metre Singing Christmas Tree show and the cherished Santa Train. The festivities culminate in a breathtaking fountain display on the shimmering lake, adding a touch of magic to the experience.
Longleat House, a beacon of grandeur, will undergo a transformation into a radiant masterpiece with a spellbinding light show.
Embark on a nostalgic journey through fantasy realms inspired by timeless tales—from the wintry landscapes of Narnia to the whimsical realms of Never-Never-Land. What makes this experience truly magical isn’t just the sprinkle of pixie dust but the incredible artistry behind each bespoke lantern, some reaching towering heights of over 15 metres.
Captivating scenes from classics such as The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe, Cinderella, Snow White, The Wizard of Oz, and Winnie the Pooh will come to life, each intricately portrayed through world-class lantern craftsmanship.
While these stories have always shone brightly, Longleat’s renowned Safari Park adds an extra layer of brilliance. Where else can you encounter beloved characters like Aslan, the regal King of Narnia, and witness real-life Jungle Kings during the captivating Drive Through Safari?
