Last year's Sharrow Lantern Carnival was a huge success with hundreds of people taking to the streets of Sharrow with some truly amazing lanterns. These are constructed from willow, tissue paper, masking tape, and glue and made by both young and old people alike. The simple construction method, means that with imagination you can build anything you want.

The carnival is happening again this year on Sunday, April 3rd and there is lots of chance to get involved in making lanterns with a series of workshops happening before the event. These are open to anyone (you don't have to live in Sharrow) to build lanterns of all shapes and sizes. There will also be the chance to make costumes and instruments for a junk band. Refreshments will be available at each workshop as well as a crèche.
