Lantern workshops - FAQ and polite requests:
*  Please book 1 ticket for each person attending (eg 1 adult + 2 children = 3 tickets)
  • Max 3 per group/family due to limited seating
  • Please arrive  promptly  as we will be doing demos for what you will be making in the session (approx  5  mins before to check in)
  • Workshop is free to attend, materials available to purchase at the venue - please bring payment to the workshop
  • Each session is themed, you’ll make a specific lantern in the workshop - see event booking for details
  • Skills required - Our workshops are suitable for age 5+
  • Children under 7 will need help and should be accompanied by one adult per child *

What to bring:

  • Fairy lights, small light or torch if you have one (its easier to attach it inside before papering your lantern)
  • Secateurs if you have them
  • Long pole or bamboo to attach inside your lantern (we do have some to purchase)
  • Large plastic bin bag or similar to carry your lantern home (if its raining) - it may still be wet with glue
