Kids’ Lantern-Making Workshop

Willow, tissue paper and LED tealights. Make a lantern for the December parade, then carry it through the streets two weeks later. Each child builds their own frame with help from our volunteer makers, and grown-ups get to do the sticky bits.

Choose a star, a moon, a fish or a house, or invent your own shape. We bring the willow pre-soaked, plenty of glue and every colour of tissue we could find. Expect wet fingers and a very proud walk home.

Ages 5 to 11 with a grown-up. Pay what you can, with £3 suggested per lantern to cover materials, and nobody is turned away. Wear old clothes. The room is on the ground floor with step-free access, and there is a calm corner with books for anyone who needs a breather.
