In spring 2023, Northumberland is set to open up the world's largest play structure.
At Lilidorei, the Alnwick Garden's latest addition, it will always be Christmas - or the nine clans of magical creatures will at least be preparing for Yuletide around the castle of Elfwin Drin. And work on Lilidorei, the brainchild of the Duchess of Northumberland Jane Percy, is well under way.
A number of clan houses already installed, but it's the world's biggest play structure that makes the jaw drop. The 26-metre tall structure, named Elfvindrin, is the height of an eight story building, weighs an approximate 150 tonnes and sits on a 1,000 ton concrete base.
