00:30We're now open. It's Belton Estate. We've got our light trailer started. It's absolutely
00:35fabulous this year as ever. Come down, book, go on the website, have a look at what's available.
00:40It's open until the 1st of January. It's absolutely beautiful. We've got some amazing installations
00:45this year. We've got Triangulate. We've got four or five new ones that have never been
00:49seen before. As well as some of the favourites coming back. So we've got the Cathedral of
00:53Light which is absolutely brilliant. We've got laser lights. We've got a laser show on
00:56the lake, displayed on the house. Come down, it looks absolutely amazing. The team here
01:02have pulled it out of the bag. It looks fantastic. We've got some new installations, a mile walk
01:08around the historic gardens, a Grade 1 list of gardens, with loads of installations. There's
01:13so much to see. It's bigger and better every year. It's fantastic. You go into this magical
01:18space into the gardens through, as you say, like a Narnia door. And the installations
01:23set all around the gardens just look amazing. The Conservatory is always one of the most
01:27important parts of our garden and we always like to highlight it. But it looks absolutely
01:31incredible this year. We did have a fire garden in the first year, but not in this way. This
01:36looks absolutely incredible. Beautiful style. Floating candles, they look absolutely gorgeous.
01:41They look like they're floating. Meadow of Light is beautiful. It's just hundreds and
01:46hundreds and hundreds of lights, plenty of music, and just looks like a beautiful big
01:52open meadow. Supernova, massive lit star, absolutely beautiful. You can see it from
01:58quite a distance away and as you get closer you can really appreciate the beauty of it.
02:03There's a big change in terms of a lot of the lights are LED, much better for the environment.
02:07National Trust is something really important to us, always seeking to improve on that.
