Chester Zoo

Quiddlesticks' favourite animal puppets return to Lanterns and Lights this year, including three new penguin puppets.

Light Lines spreads waves of colour across hundreds of pixel battens through the trees, to create a dynamic light show.

The leafless branches and trunk of the tree are lit with strips of neon in multi colours. From the base of the tree to the farthest tip outlining its stark magnificence in winter.

As you pass Father Christmas' garden, why not give him a wave, and say hello? He'll be delighted to deliver a little seasonal fun as you walk by.

These super bright giant animated stars standing over 5m high shine brightly under the night sky.

Each unique feather is handcrafted using a steel rod, and painted to glow pure white at night. They twist and turn gracefully, as though lifted by a sudden gust of wind, slowing your step and spreading a sense of tranquility throughout the space.

Fire Dancers is inspired by Christmas table-top chimes and happy memories of celebratory gatherings. The installation symbolises joyful expression, human unity and gentle optimism.

This immersive, welcoming tunnel of warm light is equally spectacular when viewed from the inside or out. Inspired by arched church windows and appearing from a distance to be a single solid shape, the Christmas Cathedral is illuminated by tens of thousands of LED lights.
