Christmas At Belton visitors will get to wander beneath historic tree canopies, drenched in seasonal colour and dripping with shards of light, frosty snowflakes, stars and baubles.
As they walk through a towering Tunnel of Light, festooned with over 100,000 pea-lights, the melodious voices of the Singing Trees will be heard in the distance. Step into the Laser Garden where dancing lines of light playfully bounce across the branches.
The formal gardens will spring to life with topiary trees lavishly draped in pea-lights that flicker in time to much-loved festive classics.
There will be hidden surprises too along this magical, after-dark trail – pause alongside the moonpool reflections and glimpse the sculptural Fire Garden as it flickers and crackles.
