Magic Lanterns is a trail of eight beautiful mini-projections hidden in the dark nooks and crannies of Chester's unique Rows. Discover the projections at night and watch as a host of enchanting Chester stories are conjured up in the shadows. A magical musical soundtrack accompanies these nocturnal images. Enjoy this FREE outdoor family treat for Chester this November.
The eight projection locations will form an easily walkable trail around the Rows.
Magic Lanterns has been created for Refresh by artist Fabric Lenny and Urban Projections, creators of some of the most awe-inspiring projection work in the country. Music will be created by musician Nick Lewis and children from Grosvenor Park Academy in Chester.
