Talking of lanterns, anyone wanting to try their hand at making a lantern can do so this weekend in Ventnor.
Workshops are taking place at the Ventnor Youth Centre between 10am and 1pm on Saturday and Sunday.
All adults and families are welcome to attend but no unaccompanied children please.
The cost is £4 per lantern which includes a battery light.
No need to book – just turn up.
If you can’t make this weekend, there will be workshops on Sunday 13th at the Baptist Church in Pier Street between 11am-3pm.
The Ventnor Lantern Parade takes place on Thursday 18th December.
