The UK Première of the Magical Lantern Festival: See Life Illuminated! Fever have the perfect winter treat to light up the dark winter nights... Join us and other bedazzled onlookers at the Magical Lantern Festival! Follow a scenic garden trail and uncover stunning collections of life-size and oversized lanterns of all shapes and sizes at Europe's largest lantern festival. The artisan lanterns include beautiful hand-sculpted recreations, taking on all kinds of shapes from animals and birds to buildings, as well as more abstract lantern designs. To mark Chinese New Year and 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. The venue for this light spectacular is Chiswick House Gardens, a magnificent villa set in beautiful historic gardens in West London. 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.
