Longleat's Christmas Land of Light

Longleat will be magically transformed into a festive Land of Light this winter as part of a brand new Christmas event. 

Running from 7th November to 21st January 2021, Land of Light features over 6,000 spectacular light sources, illuminating seven themed areas across the Wiltshire estate. 

Specially created for Longleat, the Land of Light's technology, art and interactive installations provide a stunning alternative to the Festival of Light, which has had to be postponed due to coronavirus, and will return in 2021.

See sensational projections light up the iconic Longleat House, dancing fountains and amazing animated laser shows suspended above Half Mile Lake.

Wander through motion-detected splashes of playful colour and sound in the Mystical Forest and step inside the giant four-metre tall geometric Portal with its ever changing pattern of lights. 

Longleat's famous Sun Maze and Love Labyrinth will be picked out with LED lighting reflected on mirror balls, with trees and topiary hedges decked out in their own stunning winter light displays and dramatic electric storms. 

Travel back in time as the Adventure Castle resounds to the sounds of medieval knights jousting tournament as steam from the blacksmith's forge billows into the night sky. 

Venture into the 70-metre long sensory tunnel before heading inside The Longhouse for a 360° infinity experience featuring mirrored walls and hundreds of diffracted laser beams. 

Longleat famous 20-metre tall singing Christmas tree returns to the Stable Yard and the Santa Train will be back to whisk visitors away to Father Christmas' magical woodland grotto. 

This year, there's also a brand new storytelling experience. Enter Santa's cosy den to hear a whimsical story told by the man himself; of course, he will also be handing out special gifts to all the children on the nice list.

You can also enjoy all of Longleat's animal and adventure attractions, including the Safari Park, Koala Creek, Jungle Kingdom, Jungle Cruise and the iconic Longleat Hedge Maze.
