People of all ages are invited to join in and celebrate Bristol's historical and cultural heritage through a spectacular lantern carnival on Sunday, October 30th. Spooky stories steeped in Bristol’s rich history and mythology, from ghost ships to giants, will come to life with a parade of illuminated giant puppets starting in Broadmead and finishing on King Street.

To help bring these giant lanterns to life, workshops aimed at all ages and skill levels will be held in October at Bristol Old Vic, The Galleries and in Bristol’s Old City and will include family-friendly half-term dates. Participants can explore the free-to-attend workshops online, choose a lantern, help build it and join the procession.
