What better way to catch up with old favourite bits of Chatsworth than by dim lighting. Chatsworth at night, by fake candlelight to be exact. The luminaire event was all rather enchanting. The atmosphere was set when we drove up at 7 pm, in the cold and dark and were greeted by the blue frontage - pretty stunning. Teenager proclaims “well, I wont be wanting an ice cream!” 
We saw pots and paintings, flooring and ceilings, sculptures and trinkets, all carefully lit with candlelight. Very atmospheric, giving the idea of what it must have looked like before electricity. The main star of the show, however, was the gardens. The building looked stunning and we liked the lit pathways to take you along the recommended route through the gardens.
The fierce weather held off for our visit but we did shuffle off home for a welcome hot chocolate and to recreate the Chatsworth effect in the comfort of our own sitting room.
