This Friday 1st December Friends of Whaley Bridge Memorial Park are organising a lantern parade, sponsored by Whaley Bridge Town Council.
The parade departs at 6.30pm from the Goyt Road Entrance to Memorial Park, prior to the Christmas Light Switch-On at 7pm at the station car park, followed by carols accompanied by Whaley Bridge Band.
Volunteer marshals should meet and register at the Goyt Road gates at 6.15pm. (Please bring a torch)
Mulled wine, mince-pies, chocolate Tombola, films for young children and a lucky-dip will be open from 5.30pm at Footsteps. There will also be crafts for sale in the basement.
Here are some photos of the Lantern making workshops which have taken place at recent weekends, which have kindly been taken by Peter Cull:
