Bedminster Winter Lantern Parade – Sunday 16 January

Save the date – parade day is 16 January 2027 (weather dependant).

Sign up now for our next public lantern-making workshop on 29 November at Bedminster Methodist Church.

Bedminster Winter Lantern Parade is the biggest creative community event in South Bristol bringing thousands of local residents together to celebrate BS3’s creativity.

Each Autumn, we hold lantern-making workshops for schools, community groups and the public, with the illuminated parade taking place in January – bringing thousands of spectators to Bedminster.

The event is organised by a small volunteer Steering Group who work tirelessly each year to secure the funding and plan the Parade, supported by 200 wonderful volunteers who provide logistical support on the day.

Donate now and make this the best parade day yet! All donations, big and small, are very much appreciated.

If you’d like to join the organising team and have events, health and safety, or community outreach experience, we’d love to hear from you. Get in touch at hellobemmylanterns@gmail.com
