Booking is essential. Places are limited. Please arrive on time at 10am because it takes a day to make a lantern from scratch using willow, tissue paper and glue.

We're delighted to announce this year's Cardigan Giant Lantern Parade on 6 December - 7pm, thanks to new project funding for a Festival of Light receiving financial support from the Cynnal y Cardi Fund, administrated by the Cynnal y Cardi team, Ceredigion County Council, on behalf of the UK Shared Prosperity Fund.

This year the theme is the river Teifi. 💦 🌿 ⭐️

Suitable

Lantern Making is suitable for ages 8+ and all children must be accompanied by an adult. Families with younger children are encouraged to work together. Please bring an apron and a packed lunch.

Spend the morning creating your lantern framework using sustainably grown willow. Get messy in the afternoon adding glue and tissue paper to your frame. All lanterns are stored safely at Small World Theatre until the Parade.

Lantern Making Guidelines for the Public

Lantern Making Workshop are limited to 70 people per Sunday and participants must book ahead.

Ages 8 + may wish to work on their own lantern, while younger children (ages 6 – 7 years) must work with an adult.

Book a place for each lantern maker attending over the age of 8. Young children must work with a parent/guardian, so please book one place for both of you.
