Come and join Friends of Stanningley Park for their inaugural community lantern parade on Friday 1 November 2024.
There will be live music from 5.30pm and hot drinks available (cash only).
The gathering of lanterns will take place around 6pm near the bowling club and then parade around the rose garden area (Half Mile Lane entrance).
You can bring your own homemade lanterns to the parade or come in fancy dress if you wish.
Creative Communities Leeds CIC are running a free workshop during half-term on Tuesday 29 October 12pm to 3pm at St Thomas’s Church Hall, Norwood Crescent, Stanningley (next to St Thomas’s Church).
Food and drink will be included, all materials provided and there’s no need to book.
Everyone is welcome to come along and make a willow and tissue paper lantern which can be decorated and carried in the parade. If you belong to a group please get in touch if you would like a lantern making workshop organised – e-mail creativecommunitiesleeds@outlook.com.
As it’s an outdoor event it will be dark with some uneven muddy ground, it’s recommended you bring a torch and dress appropriately for the weather. Children are the responsibility of their parents at all times.
In case of adverse weather check social media prior to the event.
Organisers are always looking for volunteers to help on the evening. Contact Friends of Stanningley Park on friendsofstanningleypark@gmail.com.
