Looking back on these photos we took in November makes me smile 🙂
Going to the Magic Lantern Festival at the Botanical Gardens in Birmingham really was magical. Seeing the joy on the children’s faces makes everything special. There’s really not much to say, just some pretty pictures of some pretty lights.
At the time of writing the last day of the festival was actually yesterday!! doh, teach me to be so disorganised with timely blog posts! However…there is a Magic Lantern Festival at Chiswick House Gardens in London till the end of February! I’m guessing they’ve just transported the lanterns.
There was absolutely loads to see and this small collection of photographs really is just a snippet. There were flowers and trees, penguins and ants, reindeers and unicorns, fish and frogs, clowns and angels…the list could go on.
And a couple more pics..

And if you do go…be prepared to spend a lot on food…or just take some treats with you!
Have you ever been to anything like this? How was it for you?
This looks like so much fun, sprinkled with magic! I love the peacock and the grasshopper! The kids look happy as can be! I love it and wish we could go! #FabFridayPost xoxo

Being that the pictures make it look so spectacular, I can hardly imagine how breathtaking it would be in person. I have never been to anything like this before. Bet it’s a guaranteed awesome time for the whole family! #FabFridayPost

Wow that looks amazing! I might have to book a cheeky weekend away there while it’s on (no way am I driving from Manchester to Birmingham and back in one day with both boys in the car!) Lovely photos #fabfridaypost
