Christmas wouldn’t be the same without Dorchester Arts’ magical annual Lantern Parade.
This year it will be part of a fabulous community celebration of Christmas organised by Friends of the Borough Gardens.On Thursday 15 December, children from local schools will lead a procession through the town centre carrying giant lanterns and take part in the Carol Service at the Borough Gardens bandstand at 6.30pm.
Joining the children will be members of VIVA! - Dorchester’s Community Choir, plus bell ringers, members of Serendipity recorder ensemble and the Dunrovia Silver Band.
The carol singing will be lead by the Encore Singers and there will be hot spiced apple juice, hot chocolate and mince pies to keep the spirits up… plus a hoped-for surprise visit from Father Christmas ! Keep a look out for large sky lanterns flying above the trees along with Santa’ reindeers…..!
The lantern parade leaves the Corn Exchange at 6pm. Everyone is welcome to join in the procession and carry a lantern.
This event is supported by Dorchester Town Council.
