Land of Lights Milton Keynes is now open.
Two of our presenters Parisa and Shipra took their family of teenagers young adults and children out to see what it was all about, and they weren't disappointed!
They took a mile long walk around the illuminations and were surprised that it had so much to see! The lantern walk provided a few pit stops on the way so you could get a drink, some food and even hot donuts!
Darren Hoy, Festival Manager said " The 1 mile walk is just enough to keep you excited but under a mile for those with disabilities and the young"

Jessica Memon, ROQ Raw Radio said "Its great to have something in Milton Keynes without going to London. I'm sure more people will visit!
Don't look at the photos as they don't give it justice!"
The festival, which features a one-mile-long wonderland of illuminations, has returned to Gulliver’s resort in Milton Keynes for the second year running, but this time brings the theme of classic children’s literature to life.
It features a wide variety of installations from popular and much-loved characters and scenes including The Three Little Pigs, Dr Doolittle, Little Red Riding Hood, Cinderella, Wizard of Oz, The Little Mermaid and Peter Pan to name just a few.
The 2023 festival will run until 25 February 2024.
Darren Hoy, Land of Lights Festival Manager, said: “Following the successful event held in 2022, we’re expecting thousands of people from across the country to attend and explore the festival’s enchanting installations, which includes more than 7,000 individual lanterns and hundreds of thousands LED lights. This
year it is even bigger and better with some really show stopping lanterns for all the family to enjoy.
More than 100 people are involved in the hand-crafted production process for Land of Lights, undertaken by the American-owned Zigong Lantern Group, an award-winning custom designer and manufacturer of handcrafted lamp art.
