Lantern Making Workshop!
Last chance to make a lantern before the Eye Lantern Parade!
It’s nearly time for ‘Light Up Eye’ and the Villages beautiful Lantern Parade…
…and to make sure that as many people from Eye village can take part in this one night of spectacles, community and performances, on the 5th and 6th November we are holding the last of the public lantern making workshops before the big event.
About the workshop…
In these free creative sessions, villagers can make a lantern for themselves or for their families so that they can become an important part of the parade – a sea of glowing handmade lanterns, creating light in these darker times.
These workshops are also a chance for Eye residents to come and meet the team and La Septima who are leading the parade and ask questions, offer stories and get involved too.
No experience necessary for the lantern making, all materials are provided and the workshops are for free. All ages welcome too, but under 16’s must be accompanied by an adult
