Make Your Own Xmas Lantern - 2008-11-22

An  exciting  programme  of community  lantern  making  has  been  organised  to  ‘light  up' the Christmas Light Switch On  in Eastwood.   A  family  lantern making workshop will  take place at Plumptre Hall on Saturday 22 November.  Morning session starts from 10.30am - 1.30pm and afternoon session from 2.30pm until 5.30pm and everyone is welcome.
 
Cost is £3.00 per small to medium sized lantern or £5.50 for a large lantern and places can be booked  on  the  workshop  by contacting  0115  917  3695.    Everyone  who makes  a  lantern  is invited  to  join  the  fabulous lantern  gathering  on  the  night of  the  switch-on  to  display  their wonderful creations.  This is a special family event and all children must be accompanied by an adult.

This year's Light Switch On Event  is bigger and better  than ever and promises  to out shine all its  rivals.    As  well  as  all  the ttraditional  switch  on  activities  from  carol singing  to  a  lantern parade,  this year  the event boasts  ‘Santa's Express'  land  train, a  tribute show  to High School Musical, music, entertainment, stalls and much much more.
