KINGSTON Lacy’s new glittering Christmas light trail has opened, marking the countdown to Christmas.

The trail opened on Friday, December 3 and the country mansion, transforming it into a winter wonderland.

Visitors walk through trees interwoven with neon, fire garden, stunning heart-shaped arches, under colourful strings stretched between towering canopies and beside a carpet of glowing white roses, with plenty of selfie moments along the way.

There are more than 250 lighting fixtures at this year’s trail and took 150 hours to rig the show.

Christmas at Kingston Lacy provides a special way to celebrate the festive season.

The trail is designed for visitors of all ages and is accessible to all to enjoy.
