The 5th Candlelit Dartmouth lantern procession is happening on Saturday 3rd December.
Dartmouth Academy kick-starts the lantern-making workshops !
On Wednesday 2nd November, a group of year 7's at Dartmouth Academy devoted thier lunch hour to lantern-making. Two fish and a yacht were the order of the day and these should be complete by end of Thursday lunchtime.
Public workshop
As in previous years, on Sunday 6th November we will be running a public lantern-making workshop at Dartmouth Academy, in conjunction with Nicola Perrott, Head of Art & Design. The workshop will run from 10.30 am until 4pm. Bring the family - but please note that all children under 11 must be accompanied by an adult. There is no charge and all materials will be provided. However, you may find it useful to bring along your secateurs !
Contact the team for more info.
We are also in the process of arranging lantern-making workshops in the local primary schools. The first of these will be at Blackawton Primary School during the afternoons of 8th and 9th November.

We'd also like to involve more local clubs,groups and societies in this year's procession - carrying lanterns and dressed in their "uniform". If any clubs, groups or societies would like to participate we'd be happy to talk about running workshops with them.
All materials at these workshops are funded by Candlelit Dartmouth and are provided free of charge to the lantern makers.
Candlelit Dartmouth is an initiative originally conceived by the Dartmouth Chamber of Trade and is promoted by Born Hectic Events.
