Magic at the Mansion: Christmas at Harewood House, Leeds
Who doesn’t love a grand country house dressed as an advent calendar for Christmas?
Harewood have gone all-out this year with Magic at the Mansion. The decorations have personality: candles sing, cakes talk and familiar household objects suddenly have rather a lot to say.
Created by visual artists Studio McGuire, the experience uses projections, sound and storytelling to bring Harewood’s rooms to life. I had a first look at this years’ experience, and I loved the Christmas banquet settings, they're so pretty, with so much detail and extravagance... then suddenly the food starts chatting!
