The Bedminster Winter Lantern Parade

Bemmy Bauble: a special project

You didn’t think that the bemmylanterns team would sit out over the winter period, did you?

We’re not parading through the streets with the lovely lanterns from our amazing schools and groups this year, but we couldn’t go without a celebration of our amazing community.

The Bemmy Bauble is a very special project for the BS3 community, which will be created by children from 6 of our local schools and our resident artists on Saturday 9 December 2023.

In one day, the team will design and create the artwork, and at 5pm our friends at Dandara will  display the Bemmy Bauble for everyone to see.

What’s next for the Lantern Project?

After 11 successful years of parading, the project team is reviewing and rethinking how we can run the project in the future.

We’re taking the time to explore the future financial sustainability of the project, as well as look at how to best encourage people living in BS3 to get involved in what has become one of the largest community projects in Bristol.

We’ll keep you posted as plans develop in 2024, so make sure you follow us on Facebook  or Instagram and keep an eye out in the local press.
