Make your own lantern so that you can take part in the Wake Up Wells Lantern Procession on Saturday 25 January 2020.

Use your creative flair on your own or with your family or a group to make a stunning lantern out of tissue paper and willow. Materials provided (but please bring or buy battery operated lights to light up your lantern). If you have secateurs, they would be useful too.

Tickets for lantern making are free and will include the material for one lantern making kit. You may be asked to pay for extra materials if you want to make a large lantern. All donations towards the cost of this event will be gratefully received. Thank you.

These workshops are suitable for all.  Children under 7 will need help and should be accompanied by one adult per child.
