Shine A Light and Woodland Festival

Shine A Light

Derbyshire-born projection artists Illuminos are proud to present Shine A Light, four days of breathtaking light and sound displays at Chatsworth House and Cromford Mills.
 
Inspired by Mark Gwynne JonesVoices From The Peak, Shine A Light celebrates Derbyshire’s history and heritage in a wonderfully unique way. These outdoor events combine music, visuals, and sound.
 
Those who visit Chatsworth House will be met with an illuminated path through the Chatsworth Garden to the South Lawn, and a large-scale moving animation will be projected onto the South Front of Chatsworth House. The Chatsworth House display is on Friday 22 October and Saturday 23 October from 6.30 pm.
 
Cromford Mills‘ Grade I listed mill complex provides the backdrop for their display, and visitors will see the historic buildings, watercourse, and mill yard beautifully lit. The Cromford Mills display is on Thursday 28 October and Friday 29 October from 6.30pm.
 
Visitors will be able to see the projection shows every 20 minutes throughout the evening.
 
Tickets are £8 for adults, and £6 for children (4-16 inclusive). Entrance is free for 3 and under.
