Carlisle City Centre Christmas Festivities
As part of Carlisle City Centre Christmas festivities, there will be a Lantern Procession on:
Thursday 9 December 2010, 5.30pm from the Castle Green.
being led into the City Centre by a Christmas Carnival Band and 3 wise men on camels. Once in the centre, there will be carol singing and a variety of other street entertainment to enjoy.
Carlisle City Council are looking for community groups and individuals to take part in the procession and can either supply them with lanterns or they can make their own, which is preferable.
To help with this, some workshops are being arranged where people can learn how to make the lanterns,
all the necessary equipment and materials will be provided. .
The first workshop will be on Saturday 20 November 2010 at 9.30am in Botcherby Community Centre, Victoria Road, Carlisle.
Participants must book in advance by contacting Val Haresign on 01228 817 358 email: valh@carlisle.gov.uk
giving details of which group they represent, how many people will take part in the procession and how many
lanterns they might want to make after the workshop.
If people are interested but unable to make that date, we may be able to arrange another session before the end of November.
