Join the community for Carry that Fire, this year's spectacular lantern parade through Newcastle-under-Lyme town centre on Friday 5 December. The parade will set off from Market Cross on the High Street at 5pm, with participants invited to gather from 4.30pm.

Everyone is welcome to take part, whether you're carrying a lantern or simply coming along to enjoy the event. The theme, Carry that Fire, celebrates the passions, hopes, people and ideas that inspire us, and invites us to share them with our community.

If you'd like to create your own lantern for the parade, come along to a free lantern-making workshop led by Castle Creatives and B-Arts at Keele in Town on 21 November, 11am-3pm. Using willow and tissue paper, you'll make a lantern ready to carry in the parade. Please allow around one hour to make your lantern, with a suggested last arrival time of 2pm.

The workshop takes place on the first floor of Keele in Town and is accessible by lift.

Free, drop-in, no booking required.

If you already have a lantern from the Keele Lantern Walk in October, bring it along and join the parade on 5 December.
