Farnham’s first Lantern Festival will take place on Thursday October 31st 2024.
The Lantern Festival will welcome all parts of our community, young and old, to express their creativity, get involved in making a lantern, and come together as a community to light up a dark October evening.
Community groups, faith groups, care homes, pubs, clubs and informal groups of friends are all encouraged to take part. There will be four workshops in June to show group leaders how to make the lanterns from specially designed kits, and then they can incorporate the activity into their own schedules, appropriate to their own audiences.
Book here to take part in a workshop. You will learn how to make a simple lantern using a kit which includes all the materials and instructions needed. Community groups will be offered 10 kits free of charge, with additional kits available to buy.
Group leaders: Book your space on June 20th or June 27th, morning or afternoon.
