Planning has started for Farnham’s second Lantern Festival, which will take place on October 31st 2025. 

The inspiration is the significant Celtic festival which marks the end of the harvest season and the beginning of winter. This year our theme is Creativity, so start thinking how you can make this year’s festival even more magnificent!

Once again we will be encouraging local community groups to get involved, and will be running free workshops on June 24th and June 26th to demonstrate the techniques and materials for making willow lanterns. If you would like to attend, click here to grab one of the last few places.

Last year we assembled nearly 1000 kits containing the willow, paper, lights and instruction sheets needed to make a lantern. This time we would love some help, so if you could spare a couple of hours to join us for a friendly get together, sign up here.
