Hardwick Wintertide: a lantern-lit Christmas

Unwrap something magical this holiday season at Hardwick Wintertide as you journey through the 400 year old hall by lantern light. 

Watch Hardwick transform into a lantern wonderland, championing the best of handmade decorations led by a local performance designer. 
Expect displays of Elizabethan traditions combined with a contemporary festive feel. Our designer, Pedro Sanchez Cervera, taps into what makes the 16th century winter season special by ensuring elements of light, shadows and silhouettes are weaved throughout the installations. 

Elle Maxwell-Wood, Hardwick Hall's Programming and Partnership Officer, said: "We are so pleased to offer a full festive experience at Hardwick Hall this year. There is something for everyone and the added touch of journeying through the hall by lantern kight will make this year truly enchanting. Don't forget to follow the Lord of Misrule as he adds a mischievous spin on the festive installations adding foolishness and folly along the way."
