Free Family Lantern Workshops

Get creative this half term at Market Place Bolton with our free family lantern workshops!

Join us in the social area, where we’ll have tables, chairs, colouring pens and lanterns ready for your little artists. Grab a seat and help the kids turn their lantern into a colourful masterpiece, ready for the lantern parade on 21st November.

Workshop dates and times:

  • Tuesday 27th October: 11am–1pm
  • Wednesday 28th October: 1pm–3pm

Make it, leave it, light up the parade!

Once you’ve finished decorating, leave your lantern with our team. We’ll keep it safe and give you a pick-up ticket to take home.

Keep your ticket safe and bring it back on 21st November to collect your lantern and walk with it in the lantern parade!

A free, creative activity for families to enjoy together this half term.
