We’re rolling out hands-on willow-lantern workshops at Tavistock Library, delivered by West Devon Art Workshops, designed to help you craft your own show-stopping lantern. Build it in the workshop, then bring it back for the parade on December 5th at 5pm to help create a truly standout moment for the community.

Capacity is capped at 20 makers per session, so early booking is essential. Adults accompanying children do not need a ticket. Tickets are reserved exclusively for those joining the parade.

Participation is free, just secure your slot and get ready to be part of the magic.
