Cardigan’s Giant Lantern Parade on Friday 6 December at 7pm, thanks to a grant from The National Lottery Community Fund. Past Parades have generated much excitement and created a community cohesion during the winter months. The Festival of Light is Cardigan’s celebrated annual event.

In its fourth year, this winter celebration promises to be bigger and brighter. The theme is Winter Circus so expect some themed lanterns made by groups and individuals added to some of Small Worlds creations. It’s an important event in the town’s calendar and attracts visitors from across the U.K. Over 10,000 people visited Cardigan in 2018 and we hope to exceed those numbers this year.”

Small World Theatre will begin the Parade at 7pm at Pendre and finish in the grounds of Cardigan Castle. Spectators can join the Parade as it meanders along the High Street with many of the shops opening late. Cardigan Castle will welcome the Parade and be a site of festive music and merriment, with delicious locally sourced food and drink purchasable from Kitchen 1176. Oh yes fireworks too
