Lanterns, stories and a touch of fairytale magic are coming to Fordingbridge! Get ready for a magical night of glowing lanterns, twinkling lights, and community cheer! Join us as Fordingbridge Lantern Parade returns this November and we light up the streets in a community of colour, creativity, and a sprinkle of fairytale magic.

This year's theme is Fairytale: Goblins, Elves and Fairies, with workshops, family activities and there are plenty of opportunities to get involved before the big parade - why not come to our Lantern Workshop on 24 October 2026! Then join us on the day for another workshop, Storytelling and then for the Parade itself!

In the meantime, follow our Lantern Parade Facebook Page, enjoy a look below at some of the fantastic moments from our Lantern Parades over the years and click here to see our Lantern Parade video (credit Studio Jamming).
