West End Winter Lantern Festival

Fun for all the family, the West End Winter Lantern Festival is a lovely way to start the festive season! Expect amazing music from Baybeat Streetband reworking festive classics into funky beat-filled stomper,  a shimmering procession, which will weave its way through the streets of the west end featuring paper lanterns created by the community and the giant Sea Spirit puppet. Cacophany Arkestra will join the procession, bringing their rewrites of carnival classics with a focus on climate change. 

But that’s not all! More Music invite you to come inside and warm up with the incredible Baked A La Ska Christmas show! Baked A La Ska have been serving up the sweetest of good party vibes, vintage ska sounds and an eccentric platter of covers since 2008.

This beautiful free festival has been held locally for the past 20 years and is an uplifting community celebration for the West End.
