Description

No experience necessary - just come with lots of enthusiasm and ideas!

Lantern making workshops, being held at Penrith Methodist Church, are designed for all the family.

You'll have the opportunity to create your own hand-held willow lantern ahead of the Penrith Sparkle parade. The frame will take approximately 90 minutes, with up to a further 90 minutes to get sticky, add sparkly lights and cover it. Feel free to book two separate 90 minutes slots over different days if that helps. Come wearing suitable clothes! All equipment and instructions provided. Please bring your own secateurs if you have them.

Lantern collection from PMC Saturday 21 November afternoon 3-4pm ahead of the Sparkle parade which starts at 4.30pm leaving from UCC.

After the Sparkle parade, you will get to take your lantern home to keep sparkling!

Please book via the TryBooking website.
