In place of last winter’s popular Chiswick House After Dark, Lightopia takes centre stage. This year sees a slightly later light extravaganza to brighten up the frosty nights of 2020. Be sure to check our other top winter illuminations too!

What to expect at Lightopia at Chiswick House

Chiswick House is known for radically changing its offering each season, and this year is no different. In fact, this year’s Lightopia is perhaps the most ambitious yet, and aims to create “A world of expression and raw emotion”. The highlights will include a lantern trail, live music and acrobatics performances. Perhaps most impressive is the colourful 3D projection mapping, projected directly onto Chiswick House.

Tickets for Chiswick House Lightopia

Tickets are available on the door, but it’s well worth booking online before you go, as they often sell out. You’ll also save yourself £2.00 by getting your ticket in advance. Just be sure to check the weather before you do. While the show goes on in all weathers, it’s all outdoors—so heavy rain could make for a less than stellar experience. Adult tickets cost a hefty £20.00, while kids cost £13.00. If you’re coming as a family, you can save a little with a £58.00 family ticket.

Food and Drink at Lightopia

Expect a wide range of food and drinks from multiple vendors. The full line-up hasn’t been announced, but in previous years we’ve seen offerings from around the world, served by the usual upmarket food trucks.

Getting to Chiswick House

The nearest Underground station is Turnham Green on the District line. That’s a 20-minute walk. If you’d rather shoot for a closer spot, Chiswick Station, served by occasional South Western Railway trains is closer to 10 minutes on foot.
