About this outing
Build your own willow-and-tissue-paper lantern at Wade Hall with guidance from artists. The all-ages workshop is free, including materials, tools and lights, on 13 November 2026, 17:30–20:30. A large lantern takes two to three hours plus drying time; work as a family or with friends to help with bending and sticking. Take the finished lantern home for the separate 20 November procession.
