Magical Lantern Festival #seelifeilluminated

The UK PREMIERE of the Magical Lantern Festival comes to Chiswick House Gardens in London, an iconic venue to host the UK’s latest iconic festival. The Magical Lantern Festival is visually spectacular, an artistic installation of beautifully sculpted life-size and giant lanterns designed in various forms from animals and birds to buildings and abstract lantern designs of all shapes and sizes. To mark the Year of the Monkey 2016, a Mount Huaguo lantern with an illuminated waterfall will provide the fairytale setting for an intricate recreation of popular Chinese fable, The Monkey King. Beautifully kept and landscaped, Chiswick House & Gardens is the perfect outdoor setting for the Magical Lantern Festival. The scale and grandeur of the gardens lends itself perfectly to the layout of the lanterns with their combination of grand vistas and hidden pathways, architectural delights and a dazzling array of wildlife.
