About

See Hardwick transformed on the 17 and 18 February 2023 as part of 'Shine a Light’, an after-dark experience for the whole family.

As part of 'Shine a Light' on Derbyshire, Hardwick is the host in February 2023. The large-scale projection will bring together animations and live musical performances in stunning displays, around the themes of climate change and water and the unique story of Hardwick.

In addition to the large-scale projections, enjoy entertainment and food and drink throughout each evening for a fun-filled experience to remember. Delivered by internationally-renowned Derbyshire-born video projection artists Illuminos, Shine A Light is designed to celebrate Derbyshire’s rich history and heritage.

This is a standing event. There is some seating in the Stableyard area where the food and drink concessions are, but the projection will be standing only.
