About the event

The Lantern Parade & Christmas Light Switch-On is back this year! Enchanted Winter Forest lanterns will light the streets of Gloucester to mark the start of the Festive season! 


Kicking off the celebrations you can join the Gloucester Cathedral carol service at 4pm, which will be followed by the lantern parade at 4:45pm which will wind through the city centre culminating in the magical Tree of Light switch on in Kings Square.


Local students from Longlevens Junior School, Robinswood Primary School, Coney Hill Community Primary School, Kingsway Primary School, Grange Primary Academy and Kingsholm C of E Primary School have been busy making enchanting creations to parade through the city centre, as the Christmas lights are switched on above them. 


If you would like to take part in the parade, there are free lantern making workshops at Folk of Gloucester Saturday 9th November 11am – 3pm & Eastgate Shopping Centre Saturday 16th November 2pm – 4pm. Workshops are free…
