The UK’s longest festive light tunnel is to be found at a Cornish harbour village.
Over 100 metres of passageways beneath the Charlestown Shipwreck Museum are being lit up to celebrate the festive season.
This year’s event is bigger, brighter and bolder than ever before with 6.5 kilometers of cabling and 60,000 lights adorning the subterranean walls.
The installlation was designed by Lynné Raubenheimer, who has over 15 years of experience working in theatre, TV and film productions, and took three months to build.
When opening dates were first announced, the Museum’s website temporarily crashed - but tickets for the Tunnel of Lights can be booked up until January 10.
The immersive experience will see families walking through the wardrobe into an enchanted Narnia landscape, surrounded by a frozen forest with snow covered branches. Then journey through a neon forest with trees that glow in the dark and venture into the spectacular Northern Lights installation.
In parts of the experience visitors can even feel the snow falling as they meander through the Christmas trees.
“This is a chance to escape the reality of the past year and to lose yourself in colour, imagination and fantasy,” said Lynné.
“We have also ensured a series of extra precautions and additional safety protocols are in place to ensure the visit fully complies with government guidelines,” she added.
The Charlestown Shipwreck Treasure Museum is home to one of Europe’s largest collections of shipwreck treasures with over 8,000 artefacts in the collection, including the only intact barrel of coins ever recovered from the seabed.
