Festive lantern fun for all the family
THE Royal Shakespeare Theatre is inviting families to take part in a festive lantern procession with a special ceilidh in Stratford-upon-Avon in December.
Families will be invited to make star shaped willow lanterns and take part in a procession as part of the Company’s Winter’s Night family activities this December.
People taking part in the free procession, which starts at the Bancroft Terrace on Saturday 3rd December from 6pm, can create willow lanterns at one of three workshops devised by artists.
Workshops take place on Saturday 19th November, Saturday 26th November and again on Saturday 3rd December from 2pm to 5pm at The Other Place.
The procession is followed by a festive ceilidh, similar to a barn dance where a caller explains the moves, in the Studio Theatre at The Other Place with music provided by English folk dance band Banter. Hot dogs and festive punch will also be on offer. The lanterns will then be on display in the foyer area of The Other Place together with a shadow box, which reflects silhouettes of winter trees and birds, which will light up the theatre space over December and the New Year.
