Description
Come and create your own eco-friendly lantern using biodegradable materials including willow, bamboo and tissue paper.
The theme of this year's Lantern Workshop is Heroes. Think about who or what you consider to be your hero, and pay tribute to a personal role model, legend or superhero through your lantern decoration. Our expert artist will guide you throughout the workshop.
As you make your lantern, you will learn about the story behind the Moon Festival, why Chinese people celebrate it, and how it is traditionally observed.
Illuminate your lantern with a battery-operated LED light (not included with the ticket) and bring your finished creation to our Lantern Parade on Saturday 28 November.
If you have a superhero costume, why not wear it to the Lantern Parade? Carry your beautiful glowing lantern and help light up Derby city centre.
It's a fantastic family day out not to be missed!
Suitable for adults, families and children aged 5+. Children under 7 must be accompanied by an adult.
