Visitors got to see watch Hardwick’s remarkable history unfold in a breath-taking display of light and sound projected against the dramatic backdrop of Bess of Hardwick’s Elizabethan masterpiece.

The displays combined cutting-edge projections, moving animations, special effects, and live music to tell the story of the jewel in Bess’s crown, as tapestries came to life, landscapes re-formed, and buildings rose and fell.

The displays at Hardwick Hall are the final instalment in a four-part programme of Shine A Light events that began at Cromford Mills in October 2022
