The grounds of London’s iconic Kenwood House, perched on the edge of Hampstead Heath, will this year become a magical wonderland with an incredible illuminated Christmas light trail.

Kilimanjaro Live presents Christmas at Kenwood, taking place between 26 November 2021 – 9 January 2022, will feature a visually stunning, multi-sensory mix of light, fire and sound.

Visitors will see Kenwood as never before in the atmospheric trail designed by Manchester based lighting company dbnAudile, known for their exhibitions and art installations across the country and working in collaboration with Salford-based outdoor arts specialists Walk The Plank, who have worked on several UK Capitals of Culture and the Commonwealth Games.

The festive trail concludes with a full Christmas market, featuring boutique craft stalls, festive refreshments, street food and a fully licensed bar.

Christmas at Kenwood follows the first ‘Christmas at…’ event at Wollaton Hall in Nottingham last year. The sold out event saw rave reviews including the Nottingham Post ‘… it really does live up to its billing as a multi-sensory experience.’

Abi Marsh, Head of Historic Properties London, English Heritage said:

“We’re so looking forward to hosting Christmas at Kenwood this winter. This beautiful estate is so special to all of us at English Heritage as well as those who live locally, and we can’t wait to see the grounds come alive with Christmas magic and sparkle. With the gardens illuminated for the new Christmas trail all those visiting us this festive season will be able to see Kenwood in a new light and step into a festive wonderland.”

Stuart Galbraith from producers of the event Kilimanjaro Live commented:

“We are delighted to be bringing Christmas at Kenwood to the beautiful grounds that so many enjoy all year long at Kenwood House. As a setting it is without a doubt one of the most stunning in London, and we cannot wait to have Kenwood dazzle like never before”.

Christmas at Kenwood is a seasonal classic with a contemporary twist, sure to become a beloved tradition.
