Two colourful laser light shows will be coming to Petworth House in February for the first time thanks to a collaboration between Chichester District Council and The National Trust designed to bring a new and free experience to the local community. The free shows - each lasting approximately 20 minutes - will kick off the February half term holiday, taking place on Saturday 15 February at 5.30pm and 6.45pm. The beautiful Petworth House will be lit up with lasers, with music synchronised to the lights. During the day, Petworth House will be open for free from 10.30am until 3.30pm. From 11am until 3.30pm there will free drop-in crafts in The Battery House, where children will be able to get creative, inspired by the laser shows. In addition, there will be entertainment in The Courtyard from 3.30pm – 4.30pm and a free silent disco held in The Battery House from 4pm – 5pm (pre-booking required) plus local vendors providing food and drink. The music and lasers are being provided by Showmen Events based in Chichester and are being funded using grants from the UK Government secured by Chichester District Council. The events are a partnership between the district council, Petworth House and The National Trust.
