We are bringing a Lantern Parade to Abbey!  


On the 16th December, we'll be switching on the Christmas Tree outside the Barnwell Shops, then having a Lantern parade down Wadloes Road to the Barnwell Baptist Church, where we'll have a Community meal with Foodcycle followed by performances from the Glee Club and other local groups.   We'd love to showcase some of the different Winter Traditions of people who live in Abbey.


We are looking for local groups to get involved in performances.  We are also looking for local groups to make lanterns and take part in the parade.

Volunteers are welcome who would like to help out at workshops to make lanterns, or want to help on the day as hospitality teams or stewards.

Instructions on how to make a lantern can be found here.

Please do get in touch to help us make this a great event for Abbey.
