About the event
Floating Lanterns workshop
This is our 'Making Lanterns' free workshop. Here, you'll unleash your inner artist, transforming simple materials into vibrant lanterns that will light up the night. Our expert guides will be on hand to assist you, ensuring that your creation reflects your unique spirit.
With lanterns in hand, we'll gather at the dock as dusk settles in. One by one, we'll gently let go our lanterns, watching as they float gracefully into the twilight, carrying our wishes and aspirations.
Come join us for a night of creativity, connection, and celebration. Let your lantern be a beacon of hope, a symbol of your dreams.

Weather and clothingIt is a winter outdoor festival, so make sure you bring several layers as December is a cold month. Also, the weather is quite unpredictable it would be best to bring an umbrella, just in case.

How much does it cost to run fairy lights in a flat or a boat for a month?The cost of running fairy lights depends on their wattage and how long you keep them on. Generally, it's a relatively low cost. For a more accurate estimate, you can use an online electricity cost calculator: Festive Lights energy CALCULATOR "Modern Christmas lights use LEDs rather than filament bulbs which are less energy efficient, and even a fairly comprehensive outdoor Christmas lights display is likely to cost less than the cost of a burger and fries to power for an entire month.
