This afternoon we visit Leeds Castle all decorated for the festive season. Set on two islands on the River Len, it has been home to generations of lords and ladies for over 1000 years. We are transported through around 900 years of the castle’s history in a sumptuous mix of period architecture, impressive interiors, and family treasures. As darkness descends a spectacular light trail lights up the night sky in the grounds of the castle. Discover sparkling chandeliers delicately suspended in the trees, a laser garden filled with tiny beams of light, a path of twinkling mirrored hearts and the Feast of Light - immersive glowing strings filled with all the colours of the rainbow.
