FAQs
Can we make a lantern together?
Yes, families, couples or friends can make lanterns together from scratch (putting together a willow frame and wrapping it with tissue). Pre-made lanterns will be available for decorating. 
 
Can I join the parade without a lantern?
Yes, please come dressed as a member of Robin Hood's Merrie Band or simply wear green to celebrate and support the forests. 
 
Can I bring my own lantern?
Yes, but only if it has been made in a workshop led by a professional lantern maker and you get new LEDs from us, available during lantern making sessions, no need to book - just drop by.
(Please note that candles and flame-lit lanterns will NOT be allowed on the parades for health &amp; safety reasons.)
 
Can I drop in to a lantern making session?
Yes, if there is space we will fit you in, but it is best to book and guarantee yourself a space when you arrive. 
 
Can we have a lantern making session at my Scout group / Women's Institute meeting / school?
Yes, drop us a message and we will send a pair of session facilitators to you (subject to availability).
