AN illuminated trail will showcase the garden and parkland at Kingston Lacy this Christmas.

The National Trust has partnered with Sony Music to create the display.

A statement on the Kingston Lacy website said: “Expect the unexpected with as you glimpse fairies in the Fernery, fiery fish and woodland wildlife sculpted in willow all within an enchanting landscape filled with wonder.

“Lit by lanterns, wander between flickering flames and beside stately majestic trees from one amazing space to another.

“Within this fiery interpretation of stars and spheres, illuminated flora and fantasy, there are moments of reflection and playful discovery set to a soundscape that will inspire and intrigue.

“The hour-long discovery trail has been specially designed for visitors of all ages to enjoy.

“The great outdoors made magical.”

The display is open on the weekends of December 11 and December 18, as well as Christmas Eve and Boxing Day.
