Longleats Festival of Light


  • Country Child Ltd UK (map)

This winter, The Festival of Light at Longleat will bring Roald Dahl’s most iconic characters to life.
Working in partnership with The Roald Dahl Story Company, we are creating 23 stunning lantern scenes to narrate these much-loved stories. This year is our most ambitious festival to date, with some lanterns more than 15-metres tall, set against the historic backdrop of Longleat House, formal gardens and ‘Capability’ Brown landscaped parkland.

Below is a sneak peek of some of the acclaimed author's most iconic characters, including the BFG, Willy Wonka and Fantastic Mr Fox.
