This November, EEA is working with Colchester Events to put on a Festive Lantern Parade to open their Christmas in Colchester winter season of events.
Our EEA artists will be running open lantern-making workshops and working with local schools and community groups to create light, festive and Beauty & the Beast-themed lanterns to illuminate the High Street procession.
Festive Lantern Parade:
Wednesday 16th November from 5pm
The parade will be a spectacular community event with EEA’s giant puppets (The Fire Bird & Santa), live entertainment and music. A wonderful opportunity for schools and community groups to come together and celebrate the start of the festive season and Christmas Light Switch On in Colchester.
Public creative workshops:
Ahead of the event day, join our free workshops to make your own handheld lantern to carry at the Christmas procession!
Sat 12 Nov 10am-12pm at Firstsite, Lewis Gardens, High Street, CO1 1JH
