Get involved in this year’s exciting activity around Farsley’s Lights Switch On and annual food drive.
With over 8,000 people attending the Lights Switch On it’s an opportunity to engage with the community and showcase what Farsley has to offer.
And the addition of this year’s Lantern Parade paves the way for even more creativity and inclusion.
Organisers would love to see you at the meeting at Farsley Community Church to discuss how we can all work together to make the best of this opportunity.
The meeting takes place on Wednesday 18 September at Farsley Community Church, art 6.30pm.
Lantern festival
Organisers are looking to light Farsley up from the beginning of November with hundreds of recycled bottle lanterns created by the community.
Grumpy’s has been awarded funding to collaborate with Farsley Community Project, SCRAP Creative Reuse Project & West SILC’s Powerhouse on willow workshops, eco-positive products and wholesome family craft events.
There will be two wonderful lantern parades; the first at Farsley’s Lights’ Switch On on the 27 November followed by Santa’s Charity Food Drive on 12 December.
They’re inviting schools, nurseries and clubs to get involved in helping to make the lanterns!
Grumpy’s is also holding after-school craft sessions on Tuesdays.
Businesses and social spaces across the village can pre-order their own set of festoon lanterns to display throughout Autumn / Winter as part of the Festival.
