Want to make your own lantern before joining the parade?
On the day of the event you can take part in a creative workshop and build your own lantern to carry in the procession. All lantern-making ticket holders are invited to join the parade, which gathers from 4.30pm and sets off at 5.15pm, and participants are welcome to stay a little longer if needed to finish their lantern.
MAC is offering a special last-minute price of £7.95 per participant, giving you the chance to enjoy an afternoon of making before stepping straight into the parade.
