We are currently planning for this year’s Lantern Festival which will take place in Alexandra Park. – Now in its 8th year this is the biggest annual event in North Belfast.
The theme this year will be Star Wars as 2017 marks the 40 anniversary.
We would like to offer your group the opportunity to take part in some visual art workshops. Young people will have the opportunity to make various Star Wars themed lanterns/installations for the park/parade.
The workshops will be taking place from:
Monday 18th September – Friday 27th October 2017
We are very keen to encourage cross-community participation. If you are currently working in partnership with another community group, it would be great to organise joint workshops.
We will provide all materials needed. If you would be interested, please complete the details below and email back to us.
