New light installations illuminating Christmas at Belton House
A new route and light installations await friends and family visiting the festive trail at the National Trust’s beautiful Belton House in Lincolnshire, which returns between 24 November 2022 and 1 January 2023.
New for 2022, international cultural event creators Mandylights have sprung a sprawling artistic illumination named The Rose Garden. Thousands of handmade roses crafted using petals of white silk look pretty in daylight, however, once darkness falls the animated colour-changing lights burst into dazzling patterns.
Visitors will also discover Italian lighting collective Aether & Hemera’s nautically inspired Voyage. Look out across the pond and see a flotilla of oversized origami ‘paper boats’ afloat on the water. Relive childhood memories and embrace the festive season when admiring these colourful lights and their watery reflections.
Matthew Findlay, Head of UK Trails for Sony Music/Raymond Gubbay Ltd, said: “We are hugely excited by the plans for this year’s trail, with artists creating beautiful, new installations which will provide even more ‘wow’ factor for 2022.”
Independent street food vendors bring a delicious twist with tasty treats on offer. Complete your walk under the stars with a *spiced winter warmer or *hot chocolate shared with friends and family. Everyone loves toasting a marshmallow over an open fire and the artisan *marshmallow stall gives visitors the chance to warm their hands and enjoy this sweet outdoor tradition.
Christmas at Belton provides a special way to celebrate the festive season with an unmissable outdoor experience. The trail is designed for visitors of all ages and is accessible.
