Over 4,500 people attended the first laser show event to be held at Petworth House.
Chichester District Council have hailed last Saturday night’s spectacular as a fantastic success.
The District Council, using grants from the UK government, put on the event—including Culture Spark activities—in partnership with the National Trust.
Councillor Harsha Desai, Cabinet Member for Licensing, Events and Communications at Chichester District Council said: "This was the first time at the venue, and we'd like to thank The National Trust and Lord and Lady Egremont for helping us to make the event happen and bring something new and different to this part of the district.
"Our aim was to provide a community event that was free and accessible to as wide a range of people, including families which is why we selected the start of the half term break. The event is also in response to our events strategy where we committed to deliver more events in other areas of the district following demand from residents. The aim is to help support local businesses, boost the local economy and showcase our wonderful district.
"Although the weather tried to dampen the spirits of the first show, lots of people enjoyed it and by the time of the second show the rain had cleared and the sky was darker so the full effect of the lasers could be seen and was a real spectacle. It was an amazing evening and people that I spoke to were very grateful for such an event to come to Petworth and I'd like to thank the team at Showmen Events for their hard work and to the wider community for embracing the event.
"I'd also like to thank Petworth Town Council, Petworth Business Association and a particular resident in Hampers Green who all worked together to organise some alternative parking for event-goers and to make North Street and Hampers Green roads safe, it made a real difference.
